b works but so does d
By the way two things have to happen.
a(b+c) = 60
and if ab = 36 then ac must be 24
Robin and Emily are selling boxes of candy bars. Robin sells 36 boxes of candy and Emily sells 24 boxes of candy. Which expression, using the form a(b+c), represents the amount they sold together
a. 2(12+24)
b. 4(9+6)
c. 24 (6 + 36)
d. 12 (3 + 2)
My answer is B
9+6=15x4=60
60 candy bars is what they sold together
Can you please double check my work and let me know if I got the correct answer.

Your answer is partially correct.
4 ( 9 + 6 ) = 4 * 15 = 60
But also:
36 = 12 * 3
24 = 12 * 2
36 + 24 = 12 * 3 + 12 * 2 = 12 ( 3 + 2 )
12 * ( 3 + 2 ) = 12 * 5 = 60
Answers b and d
4 ( 9 + 6 ) = 4 * 15 = 60
But also:
36 = 12 * 3
24 = 12 * 2
36 + 24 = 12 * 3 + 12 * 2 = 12 ( 3 + 2 )
12 * ( 3 + 2 ) = 12 * 5 = 60
Answers b and d
