Answer:
C 89a + 2c)
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest factor of both 8 and 16 is 8. So, 8 = GCF
factor out an 8 and you get 8(a + 2c)
To check if you are correct, multiply and see if you get what you started with.
The best way to estimate it is to do "written addition" in your head, adding 1+8, then 9+3, all the way until you get to the front. the actual answer is 189,459, so your answer should be somewhere close to that.
