Answer:

16p-100

Explanation:

All we have to do is evaluate this expression.

The first step is to distribute -10 among the numbers in the parenthesis:

20p-100

We got 20p-100 from first multiplying -10 to -2p, which the negatives would cancel out and get 20p, and -10 multiplied by 10, which gets you -100

The next step is to subtract the 4p from the entire expression:

20p-100-4p

Or, we can rearrange this expression to make it clearer: 20p-4p-100

=16p-100

Hope this helps :)
