48÷2(9+3) = ???

[flipnkraut]

I'm sure its been posted somewhere in the past 120 pages, but what do you get when you check your answer Team 288?



Solve for x:

48/x(9+3)=288



If x=/=2 then 288 is wrong.
And show your work. You don't get full credit if you don't.

The signs are the exact same. 

Follow the steps.

Add what is parentheses first.

Now you are left with 48/2(12) or 48 Ã· 2(12)

P 

E

M or D

A or S

Left to right.

Divide first. 48/2 = 24 or, if you prefer, 48÷2 = 24

Multiply last, 24 x 12 = 288. 

You are the king of trolls. 

Go study fractions first before you post again. The example you posted is totally different from the original problem. I didn't change anything. You just don't know how to read [h3]48÷2(9+3) properly.[/h3]

How is my example totally different? All I did was add the 9 and the 3 first. Are you not supposed to do that? Does the addition sign represent something else now?
Me study fractions? 

You need your mod status revoked if you can't solve a math problem as simple as this one. 

I'm talking about THIS EXAMPLE you posted.
1/2 = 0.5

1÷ 2 = 0.5

Yeah that sounds fun so I don't have to hold back and say what I really think about people like you. I solved it in my head easy. I know you had to use a calculator and Google to verify your wrong answer.

You can stay with 288. I already posted 4 different notes showing why 288 is the wrong answer. I'm not after converting people here. Just sharing the correct answer.

Figures.

 

You'll go as far as posting up 4 different handwritten notes but won't take a mere 7 seconds to input a simple calculation into your calculator. 

Admit defeat. 

Not mine BUT YOU LOSE since you're only after seeing a calculator with this answer.


Like I said, stick with team 288.

Kingcrux, calling people "uneducated" when they have the correct answer while, you yourself have the wrong answer, is very "trollish" if you ask me. Your opinions do not equal facts. Ask college professors or math geniuses, the answer would most likely be 288. This type of equation is basic mathematics that most kids learn in middle school, and I had done hundreds back in middle/high school and rarely got them wrong. Only people like yourself or idiots would get these types of problems wrong.

48/x (12) = 288
Multiply both sides by x

48(12) = 288x

576 = 288x

Divide both sides by 288

X=2

I was using that example to prove that the division signs mean the exact same thing. Yes, I'm going to use a calculator to verify my answer just like any other intelligent person would do. 

 People like me, huh? People who know how to do math?

And like I said about the calculator, please use one that was made recently not 40 years ago. Please use an updated TI calculator, plug in the equation and post a picture.

Also, why on the calculator do they have the division sign yet when you press the button a "/" comes out of it?

Hmmm, maybe cause they're the exact same thing.

Are you now mad that you have to resort to call another member a "troll?"

nah bro, the first problem is a division problem, the second problem is a multiplication problem.

in the first one, you are dividing 48 and the 2(9+3)

the second one you are multiplying 48/2 and (9+3)

Why not yours? 

Something wrong with yours? Is it because it's not a Casio? Is it because the answer that will consistently show up is 288? 

Oh and btw,

This order is generally clear and unambiguous but problems do occur. One problem is a bug in Casio calculators made before 2007. For example, the expression

should evaluate to 16 according to the order of operations. The division should be done first. It is evaluated incorrectly to 1 by earlier Casio calculators. If you instead enter 

the Casio will give the correct answer. TI calculators do not have this problem. Casio has fixed this problem in newer calculators.
