    Another way the expression can be written is 3 (x+8).

    The problem is asking you to figure out how many hours were spend volunteering over 3 months. So both x and 8 (amounts of volunteer time in different places) will need to be multiplied by 3. Writing 3 next to a parenthesis is a way to say multiply.
