juxtaposition means multiplication not parenthesis. Parenthesis are only used to separate terms.
48÷2(9+3) = ???

The problem was written to create this type of argument. As stated before, the problem is very poorly written. And the answer is 2.

Answer: Order of operation
Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

i asked an on campus calculus tutor and he says 2. he said if the answer were to be 288 the problem would have to be written as (48/2)(9+3). he then said, yall are misinterpreting the parenthesis rule. the parenthesis rule in PEMDAS is not satisfied until you multiply the 2. by changing 48/2(12) to 48/2*(12) you are manipulating the problem. the reason multiplying isn't breaking order of operation is because it is being done to satisfy the Parenthesis step in PEMDAS. then you get 48/24=2

solve that with your interpretation of "parentheses" in PEMDAS
youre, the one thats manipulating the problem, giving special preference to that 2 thats outside the parentheses when there shouldnt be

48÷2(9+3)
48÷2(12)
24(12)
288
Answer would be 2 if it was written 48÷(2(9+3)). Could also argue that the answer would be 2 if it was given as 48/2(9+3) as this suggests that 2(9+3) is the denominator.
48÷2(12)
24(12)

The parenthesis is satisfied by completing what's inside of it. Once you leave the parenthesis you then go onto the rest of PEMDAS. You're having the parenthesis manipulate the problem by attaching it to numbers that aren't bounded by it. what are you talking about changing? 48/2(12) is the same as 48/2*(12).
