2 - (p + 6)

A. two minus the sum(addition) of p and six(so p and 6 are added together)

2 - (p + 6)

B. two added to the difference(subtraction) of p and six(p an 6 are subtracted together)

2 + (p - 6)

C. the difference of two and p times(multiplication) six

6(2 - p)

D. the sum of two and p added to six

(2 + p) + 6

The first one. The second looks like (p-6)+2. The third looks like (2-p)6. And the fourth looks like 6+ (2+p)
