Evaluate the expression by following steps: - step0: Evaluate: \(-3.1p-5.4\) - step1: Substitute: \(-3.1\left(-1\right)-5.4\) - step2: Multiply the numbers: \(3.1-5.4\) - step3: Subtract the numbers: \(-2.3\) To evaluate the expression \(-3.1 p - 5.4\) for \(p = -1\), we substitute \(-1\) into the expression: \[ -3.1(-1) - 5.4 \] Now, let's calculate it step by step: 1. Calculate \(-3.1 \times -1\): \[ -3.1 \times -1 = 3.1 \] 2. Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 3.1 - 5.4 \] 3. Perform the subtraction: \[ 3.1 - 5.4 = -2.3 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{-2.3} \]
