Each month, Helder volunteers x hours at the hospital and 8 hours at the local food bank.

To find how many hours he will spend volunteering over 3 months, Helder calculates: x + 8 + x + 8 + x + 8
What is another way Helder can calculate how many hours he will volunteer in total over the 3 months?

I believe it is basically saying what's a simpler way to write this equation

in this case, we could end up with..

3(x + 8) = hours
