Is 48÷2(9+3) = 48÷2 x (9+3) ??

48/ 2(9+3)
parenthesis first:
48/ 2(12)
distribute the 2 to the parenthesis.
48/24= 2

"b(c+d)" is one entity. You can't separate them. Thats like trying to make a triangle have angles that don't equal 180 degrees; it's not possible. If anything you'll have to distribute to make b(c+d) = bc+bd. That's why the parenthesis has primacy over every other operation.

Agreed...Originally Posted by eddiehouse5
1-1+1= 1
1-(1+1)= -1
Two different questions.

Who's adding parenthesis? I was just distributing the parenthetical expressions into a binomial.Originally Posted by OptimusADL

So what would ab(c+d) be?
You cant add parentheses that aren't in the original equation.

Jeezus Christ this thread is scary.
The O.g equation can also be re-written as: 48/(2(9+3)) or 48/(18+6).
Either case should result in 2 as your answer.
The two in the original equation is attached to the (9+3). You cannot separate the 2 from the (9+3).
All y'all getting 288 honestly need to commit that because we can't afford to have y'all spreading y'all genes.
288?...
...
It is helpful to treat division as multiplication by the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) and subtraction as addition of the opposite (additive inverse)
