Ok check it out you uber math pros. why arent you just simply doing the fucking thing from left to right . Yeah its right you HAVE do the stuff IN the brackets first , but who said that multiplying the 2 with the (9+3) has priority? So its just like that : 48 / 2 * (9 + 3) = // now you are doing the stuff in the brackets first which is 9+3=12 and you can remove the brackets now , you dont need brackets for a single number. Then it goes like this :48/2 * 12 = and then go either this way 576/2 or this way 24 * 12 .So no matter if you divide 48 with 2 first and then multiply with 12 or multiply 48 with 12 first and then divide by 2 , you will get 288Peace I am out
On any exam I'd write 2 cause of this:Try to make it like this:(I replace 48 with X , and put 2 to try if its correct)x / 2(9+3) = 2x / 2(12) = 2x / 24 = 2x = 2*24x = 48 > CorrectNow, i replace 48 with X again , but this time i put right side 288 ( = 288 ) i get :x / 2(9+3) = 288x / 2(12) = 288x / 24 = 288x = 288*24x = 6912 > Not correct (not 48)So, answer is 2. My opinion.
