Parenthesis: 9+3 = 12. All that's left now is 48÷2(12)


No exponents.


Multiplication/division. Whichever is first from left to right. Which is first? Division. So, 48÷2=24. What's left? 24(12)


Okay, multiplication is up. 24(12)=24x12=288. Stop, don't you dare say 24(12)=/=24x12. If you are, don't bother replying.


I just broke down the exact equation for you. As is. 48÷2(9+3) Didn't have to change anything, unlike Team 2.

No One changed anything. I even wrote it with variables.

Let me write it so you understand

A + B = B + A (check)
(Xa + Xb) = X(a+b) (check)

Z ÷ (Xa + Xb) can we factor out the X yes we can ---> Z ÷ X(a+b)

++$ are you talking about?

Replace the Z with 48 the X with 2 and the A with 9 and B with 3 I am asking if I chose to go this route am I wrong. I come to the conclusion it is up to the person solving the question. It can be either assumed factorization is taking place or the 48 is to be divided by the 2. Whoever made this question up got their point across.

There's only one way to interpret this equation. ÷ means division. Juxtaposition means multiplication. + means addition. There's only one way to interpret it. The only reason why people say the equation is so confusing is cuz they're overanalyzing it and making it more difficult than it's supposed to be.

Whatever y'all are saying has been said before. There's only so many things you can explain about this problem in 90 pages. Endless discussions ensue with either camp trying to prove their point only to be reset every time new posters enter the thread, making the cycle start over again from the beginning.

The final consensus is here: http://niketalk.yuku.com/sreply/10744601/48-2-9-3-

The thing though is there is no variables in this problem. 9+3 does not equal a+b it equals 12.

Replace the variables with numbers. This is math all I was doing was showing a proof. How do you think equations are formed?

So you are STILL saying that you dont have to compute whats in the parenthesis first?

But the equation I wrote is it wrong with how I approached it?

By just putting in variables, you're doing exactly what my last post said: overanalyzing the equation and making it more difficult than it's supposed to be.

How credible do you really think you are when you stated that you dont need to solve/simplify whats in the parenthesis first?

are you going to disprove the proof he just showed?

A + B = B + A (check)
(Xa + Xb) = X(a+b) (check)

Z ÷ (Xa + Xb) can we factor out the X yes we can ---> Z ÷ X(a+b)

This is wrong because x(a+b) doesnt equal (xa + xb) it equals (xa) + (xb)

Just answer my question am I wrong?

Son..... 48/2(9+3) and (48/2) (9+3) state the EXACT SAME THING. They're equal. They're the same. 

48/2(9+3) =
48
____
2(9+3)

which is =/= to (48/2) (9+3)

Good day.

When you say that 48/2(9+3) =

48
____
2(9+3)

YOU ARE CHANGING THE PROBLEM!! Do you not see that??? If you wanted the problem to look like what you posted the original problem would have to look like this: 48/(2(9+3))

Does it look like that? NO. Holy @#$# I feel like I've posted the same thing a thousand times now. 

Good day my !@#. Go take a seat. 

 

[dmxgod]

Just called my girl..and asked her what she got..(She's a Math teacher)

Both agreed that the answer is 2..

48/2(9+3)

48/2(12)

THEN MULTIPLY according to ORDER OF OPERATIONS

THEN FREAKIN DIVIDE

48/24

Answer is 2
