Step-by-Step Solution

Simplify this expression by paying attention to the order of arithmetic operations which states that exponentiation precedes multiplication, division precedes addition and subtraction and that parentheses precede all of the above.

Thus, let's begin by simplifying the expressions within the parentheses, and following this, the multiplication between them.

(12+2)(3+5)=148=112 (12+2)\cdot(3+5)= \\ 14\cdot8=\\ 112

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

112
