Answer 15

Ok First you Have To Distribute. When ever you have a number in front of a parentheses, you always distribute before solving.
So 3 (2x+8)=0
You Distribute by MultiplYing 3 by 2x and 8
Which will give you 6x+24=0
Then You Subtract 24 from both sides of the equal sign
Which will give you 6x=-24
Then You Just Divide By Putting a 6 Under Everything and So The 6 cancel out with its self and -24÷6 is -4
So you Will Be left with, which is your answer ×=-4
