'共に' is slightly more formal than '一緒に' but both are correct.

The particle 'に' is essential for this meaning; without it, the word means 'together' in a different context.

From the kanji 共 (tomo, meaning 'together') and に (a particle indicating direction or accompaniment).

Can be used both formally and informally, though '一緒に' is more common in casual speech.
