What are your thoughts?

People on TSR will rarely just do your work for you.

What we're generally more willing to do is help with where you are stuck or better yet, correct any mistakes you make.

For the original poster, do you know what a nucleophile and an electrophile are?

yes H+ is the electrophile right? And the left symbol is the nucleophile

'phile' [ means love, so an electrophile which loves electrons and a nucleophile is something which
loves nuclei. So, the nuclephilic pi-bond attacks the slightly positively charged hydrogen in H-Br. The what was an alkene
then has positive charge on one of the carbon atoms which forms the point at which the Br nucleophile can then attach and bond to.

But why does the Br attach to the terminal carbon atom - have a read and see if you can find an explanation.
