Need help with left side of -4 (P - 6) + 2P = |5-3+6|

[Alex]

Hey, i got this problem i am trying to solve, here is the following equation.

-4 (P - 6) + 2P = |5-3+6|

I simplified the right part with the bars, but i am confused with the left side.

I was wondering if i got it down right, -4 (P - 6) = -10P ?
or is it, -4 x -6P ?
