Answer:

3(8+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the sum of eight and for ( which means ad 8 to 4). Then you must multiply that answer by three. The reason you put a parentheses around the 8+for is because of PEMDAS which is the order you must do All expressions. The P stands for parentheses E stands for exponents the M stands for multiplication the D stands for division the A stands for addition and the S stands for subtraction. So without the parentheses around the 8+ for you and multiply 8 times three first and then add four which is not the correct answer.
