need to check work on simplifying expressions

[adamneedshelp]

HELP! I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. Can 9p - 3(5p + 2) + 6 be simplified into -4p?

think I got it

caught the arithmetic error - here's how I solved it - am I doing it right?
9p - 3(5p+ 2) +6
9p - 15p - 6 + 6
9p - 15p + 0
-6p + 0
-6p

Is that right?
