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 altogether?
a. 2(12+24)
b. 4(9+6)
c. 24(6 + 36)
d. 12 (3+2)
Can you explain to me if I add 36 plus 24 that would equal 60 but how would you go about doing this into an expression with those two numbers?

take out a common factor
So basically I would have to find out what the common facto of 36 and 24 first and then what would I do next?
