What is the value of 12 (8 + 9) ? A 105 B 204 C 357 D 864

The correct answer is, B. 204, because first you add the 8+9, which gives you 17. Then you multiply that by 12, resulting in 204. Also, this is not a history question as you have it labeled. It is a math question.

The answer would be B because you have to distribute the 12 to the 8 which would give you 96. Then you would multiply the 12 to the 9 which would give you 108 then you would add them together to get your answer of 204
