Can we please at least disregard whatever this guy says? I'm sure no one agrees with him.

Even if you do factor 2(9+3) you get 18 + 6. Then you divide 48 by 18, which I'm sure everyone has ruled out that 8.6 is not the answer.

You don't know how to read and you don't know what a woman's hand looks like. You shouldn't even be participating in a math thread.

48 ÷ 2x = 2

48 = 2x * 2

24 = 2x

12 = x


2x and 2(9+3) are handled exactly the same.



Sincerely, Team 2

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.

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.

http://www.imperial.edu/~...es/impliedgroupings.html



That Casio up there is defected. 

that link basically shows how to solve the problem
36/9(4) = 16

so 

48/2(12) = 288

amirite?

feel free to explain this to me, team 2

Everyone is getting 288 by looking at the original problem and  following the order of operations and not assuming that 2(9+3) is a special grouping for some random reason.  The (9+3) can, in fact, be seen either as a number multiplied by the result of 48÷2. We are applying basic math rules, and considering the division sign as a simple division between the two numbers around it. Nothing strange, and nothing worth explaining. It's simply correct. Argue that.

Simple. Does the original problem say 48(9+3) or 2(9+3)?

It says 48÷2(9+3). Let's keep looking at the original problem like you keep on saying. You get 288 by not putting a crown on 2(9+3). Don't fall into the hype of the parenthesis. It ain't special and doesn't get to cut to the front of the line for the Order of Operations pack release.

Even if you do factor 2(9+3) you get 18 + 6. Then you divide 48 by 18, which I'm sure everyone has ruled out that 8.6 is not the answer.

nah bro, you get (18+6)= (24)= 48/(24).

[nikevandal]

THE PROBLEM ISNT WRITTEN AS  (2(9+3)

SO THERES NO WAY you can GET 2 ITS 288

THERES A REASON WHY YOURE PINOY AND NOT BALLING

LEARN TO TAKE NOTES AT SCHOOL

WHEN IT COMES TO DIVIDING AND MULTIPLYING IT GOES FROM WHATEVER'S FIRST

ITS THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS


TELL ANY MATH PROF. ITS 2 they will LOL @ YOU
