Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure if you forgot to put a variable, so here is what it could be.
If only the 15 had the variable n with it:
3(5n - 8) would be the answer.
Actually, I think That is the only answer, because the last answer choice would be 15n - 24n, which can be simplified to -9n.
The first one is incorrect because 5 times -8 is not -24, but is -40.
The second one is incorrect because 15 times -24 is not -24, but is -360.
