3 (5p - 2)

Let's simplify this problem using the distributive property.

The first thing we want to do is the change the minus to plus a negative.

So we have 3 (5p + - 2).

Now we can distributive or multiply this 3 times each of the terms inside the set of parentheses.

So we get 3 (5p) + 3 (-2) and this simplifies to 15p + - 6.
