482(9+3)

[Naze]

haven't done this in a while 36?

48/2(9+3)
9+3 = 12
48/2+12
48/2=24
24+12=36

You need help.

Why are you assuming there are brackets like (2(9+3))?
It could just as easily be (48/2)(9+3)

You shouldn't assume there is anything more than the problem itself. It isn't (48/2)(9+3), or 48/(2(9+3)). It's 48÷2(9+3).

How about this? Whats wrong with this?

1. Let
   
   and
   
   be equal non-zero quantities
   
   
2. Multiply by
   
   
   
   
3. Subtract
   
   
   
   
4. Factor both sides: the left factors as a difference of squares, the right is factored by extracting
   
   from both terms
   
   
5. Divide out
   
   
   
   
6. Observing that
   
   
   
   
7. Combine like terms on the left
   
   
8. Divide by the non-zero

The answer is 288.

48 / 2 (9 + 3) - Initial Question
48 / 2 (12) - Solve the Bracket
24 (12) - Solve the Quotient (Work from Left to Right - There is no 'bracket' to solve)
288 - Solve for Product​

This should be over, use google and don't make a huge discussion
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=48÷2(9+3)

This is basic math...

Use PEMDAS like the Americans and you get 2.

-4^2 is actually -16. (-2)^2 is 16.

You don't include the negative sign when squaring unless there are brackets.

No you are wrong -4*-4=16[DOUBLEPOST=1452041920,1452041840][/DOUBLEPOST]

The answer is 288.

48 / 2 (9 + 3) - Initial Question
48 / 2 (12) - Solve the Bracket
24 (12) - Solve the Quotient (Work from Left to Right - There is no 'bracket' to solve)
288 - Solve for Product​

That is correct.

oh my god this thread...
48÷2(9+3)
First calculate the brackets
9 + 3 = 12

2(9+3) = 2 x (9+3) = 2 x 12 = 24

Then 48 ÷ 24 = 2....

it's the one and only answer

Division is always priority over multiplication, so you'd do that and get 24(9+3)

Brackets prioritise multiplication too so 24(12) = 288

288 is also what Google gives, and Google is never wrong.

Apart from it's the wrong answer... You prioritised multiplication over division which is wrong.

this is what google is calculating:

Which is not what the question is asking
When there's no "x, ÷, + or -" it means multiply
