First you must distribute the 3 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be x and 2...

(3 * x) + (3 * 2) - x + 8

3x + 6 - x + 8

Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with no variables go together. Then the numbers with the same variables must be combined...

no variable combination:

3x + 6 -x + 8

6 + 8 = 14

3x - x + 14

same variable combination:

3x - x + 14

3x - x = 2x

2x + 14

Hope this helped!
