[Thats My Word]

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

Holy crap the response to the equation made me burst out laughing. Even dude in blue looks like he's laughing.

1-1+1= 1

1-(1+1)= -1

Two different questions.

Multiplication has precedence over Division, h/e the same rule doesn't apply to the addition and subtraction because they are lesser operations.

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?...

[do work son]

the way i see it, the problem reads: 48 divided by the product of 2(9+3)

I think it's 288 
9+3=12

48/2=24

Because of the parenthesis, I figured you will multiply the 12*24 

=288

Who taught you that? I'm curious cause I've never heard that. In Canada it's taught BEDMAS and that's because multi/divisi are interchangeable. Unless you mean in this specific equation, in which case I still think you're wrong.

"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.

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

Agreed...

48/2(9+3) = 288

48/(2(9+3)) = 2

Two different questions.

2(9+3) is one entity...that's all that needs to be said. The answer is 2

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

ab(c+d) would be the same as (abc + abd)

orly?

It is helpful to treat division as multiplication by the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) and subtraction as addition of the opposite (additive inverse)
