You asked:

Simplify the expression: \(3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p \cdot \left(3 p - 8\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

Simplified:

\[ 3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p\left( 3 p - 8 \right) = - 2 p \left(3 p - 8\right) + 15 p - 18 \]


Expanded:

\[ 3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p\left( 3 p - 8 \right) = - 6 p^{2} + 31 p - 18 \]


Factored:

\[ 3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p\left( 3 p - 8 \right) = - \left(2 p - 9\right) \left(3 p - 2\right) \]
