Answer

$P(p-3 q)^2=P p^2-6 P p q+9 P q^2$

Work Step by Step

First expand $(p-3 q)^2$ and then multiply the result by $P$. Therefore $$ \begin{aligned} P(p-3 q)^2 & =P(p-3 q)(p-3 q) \\ & =P\left(p^2-3 p q-3 p q+9 q^2\right)\\ &=P\left(p^2-6 p q+9 q^2\right) \\ & =P p^2-6 P p q+9 P q^2 \end{aligned} $$
