How can I solve 4(-2p-2) plus 2p -2(5 plus 2p)?

To solve the expression ( 4(-2p - 2) + 2p - 2(5 + 2p) ), start by distributing the terms:

1. ( 4(-2p - 2) = -8p - 8 ) and ( -2(5 + 2p) = -10 - 4p ).
2. Combine all terms: ( -8p - 8 + 2p - 10 - 4p ).
3. Combine like terms: ( (-8p + 2p - 4p) + (-8 - 10) = -10p - 18 ).

The final simplified expression is ( -10p - 18 ).
