482(9+3)

This is a badly formatted mathematical expression. It's the equivalent of saying "I would like juice or water with ice". This is confusing because it could mean you would like juice with ice or juice with no ice. So there is no one way to solve this. Anyone can come up with their own rules and notation conventions to solve this so there is no right answer since the question itself is poorly constructed.

There is 2 or 288

BIDMAS
Brackets
Indices
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction


Indicates that division comes before multiplication, so 48/2 would come first, rather than 2 x (9 + 3).

48 ÷ 2(9+3)=
48 ÷ 2(12)=
48 ÷ 24=
2

What about PEMDAS?.[DOUBLEPOST=1452017579,1452017544][/DOUBLEPOST]

No, only one way. BIDMAS BRAH.

Nope, PEMDAS.

Lol in California we say
PEMDAS
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication or Division which ever is first from left to right
Addition and Subtraction which ever is first from left to right

This is one of the ways. There is two answers BIDMAS andPEMDAS.

that's not how math works lol

If you think there is multiple answers I think you're the one that needs help here.

Ever heard of PEMDAS?
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

That's the order math problems are completed.
Follow it and your answer is 2.
There is not more than 1 answer for such simple problems.

Ever heard of BIDMAS?

Lol look what you've done OP, good job!

Thank you! I tried my best.[DOUBLEPOST=1452017821,1452017787][/DOUBLEPOST]

The correct notation that should be used is this: 48/(2(9+3)). The way it is shown in the op just confuses people. With this notation the answer is most certainly 2.

Use PEMDAS and you get 287.

It seems you hate English TOO*

U blind m8? Look at it again,

BUT HOW IS IT TWO?
According to PEMDAS
48÷2(9+3)
Parentheses first (9+3) =12
48÷2(12)
Since we've solved inside the parentheses it leaves
48÷2=24
24(12)=288
Right?

BIMDAS -
http://educationequals.com/know-thy-bimdas/

Looks the same to me.

48 ÷ 2(9+3)=
48 ÷ 2(12)=
48 ÷ 24=
2

That's PEMDAS.

48 ÷ 2(9+3)=
48 ÷ 2(12)=
(48 ÷ 2)(12)=
24 * 12=
288

This is BIDMAS.

The real question is, when will we use this in life?
