Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming your teacher wants you to distribute. If so, then you multiply the outer term 8 by each term inside (3a and 5). After that you add.
8 times 3a = 24a
8 times 5 = 40
So 8(3a+5) becomes 24a+40
We do not combine 24a and 40 as they are not like terms. So we leave 24a+40 as it is.
Square root each side
x-5=positive/negative 9
x=14, and -4
Given:
Price of tickets:
3 years ago - 8.75
now - 11
annual multiplier:
b³ = 11/8.75
b = ∛11/8.75
b = 1.079
The annual multiplier is 1.079.
1.079 * 100% = 107.9%
107.9% - 100% = 7.9%
The percentage increase is 7.9%
