What part of this is giving you trouble?  You're simply distribution the outer term to both of the inner terms

toxicsugar22 · Answer

1. is -6p+12

toxicsugar22 · Answer

ok sure thanks

shane_b · Answer

That's why I said @cool987654321 :)
 $$−(6p + 12) $$This is the same as $$(-1)(6p + 12) $$Distribute (multiply) the outer term (-1) to both inner terms to get:$$(-1)(6p)+(-1)(12)$$Simplify to get:$$-6p-12$$
