Answer 1

Answer:

12(8+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x8=96

12x3=36

Also, 12 is the GCF

Answer 2

The answer above is actually incorrect. If you look at the original equation, it is 96 + 36. The answer above says that 12 * 8 is 96, which is correct. The incorrect part of the answer above is the 12 * 3. This needs to equal 36, but instead they put 24. This is bad math and is therefor is incorrect. The answer choice is correct but the math is not.
