C. 80
D. 10,168​

Answer 1

576

You do the parenthesis first, 31+41.
That will equal 72.
Then you multiply by the number outside, 8
8 • 72 = 576.

It just follows the rules of PEMDAS
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication/Division (these two can be switched around)
Addition/Subtraction (these two can be switched around)

Answer 2

576 cause 31 x8 and 41 x 8
