The compound has an overall oxidation number of 0.
O, oxygen as an oxide ion has a oxidation state of -2
So let x be Br,
x + 3 (-2) = 0
x - 6 = 0
x = +6
So Br oxidation number is +6
Also do note that stoichiometric coefficients don’t matter while calculating the oxidation states.
I hope this will help you
