482(9+3)

Ok I admit maybe saying 'removing the parenthesis' was wrong, but the rules of math dictates multiply before divide. I'm surprised you guys did not learn this in primary school math. Don't start on PEDMAS, because none of you bloody learnt PEDMAS before 'multiplication before division'

Order of operations states to do multiplication and division together. I don't know where the hell you heard of "multiplication before division".

A simple google search will yield hundreds of pages that state "DO MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION TOGETHER".

I reckon more than half of the people who commented '288' on the thread only learnt about PEDMAS today.

I don't know where you learned your math, but you better check over it. If you want to argue about "one term", the whole expression is "one term". The definition of a term is: "Parts of an expression or series separated by + or – signs". The whole expression only contains multiplication and division.


Who said anything about removing them?
48 / 2 (9+3)
48 / 2 (12) - Simplification
48 / 2 * 12 - Replacing parenthesis with multiplication symbol
24 * 12 - PEMDAS says multiplication and division left to right
288 - PEMDAS says multiplication and division left to right

Is this a prank

Trying to aruge that the answer is 288 is the equivalent of thinking the dress is white and gold.

Seriously ... read the order of operations.

Is this a prank

No.

I'm sorry to say but both of you are horribly wrong.

this is what google is calculating:

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

Did you read my solution? And you really think Google would get it wrong?

Wolfram Alpha specialises in this sort of stuff, it can even do advanced differential equations and other branches of math.

So you're saying you're right, and myself, Google and Wolfram are all wrong.

 

[Lyphiard]

THE ANSWER IS 2 ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS. 2(9+3) IS ONE TERM. YOU NEED TO SOLVE IT ON IT'S OWN. AND I DON't UNDERSTAND PEOPLE THINKING THAT BIMDAS AND PEMDAS ARE DIFFERENT. WE'RE NOT LEARNING THIS DIFFERENTLY YOU'RE JUST STUPID. IT'S THE SAME PROCESS YOU'RE JUST WRONG.

Trying to aruge that the answer is 2 is the equivalent of thinking the dress is white and gold.

gg you said it yourself

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).

But (48/2)(9+3) = 48÷2(9+3)
The brackets around (48/2) don't add anything, just like 1*2 = (1)2[DOUBLEPOST=1452045850,1452045756][/DOUBLEPOST]In other words, the answer is 288.

648?

YES! Spot on, congrats!
