90 pages on a math problem? On Niketalk?
This cant be life.
(and im not even gonna pretend to read all this nonsense)

1/2x = x/2 if you don't explicitly write it as 1/(2x)
Yes if you write 1/2x on a napkin for your friends to look at, they'll understand that you meant 1/(2x) because they know you were just trying to keep it simple and you otherwise would have wrote it x/2. But if you write 1/2x on a test just like that, your grader will read it x/2 unless... he's one of your friends you tend to write on napkins for.

distributive property is NOT a rule, its a property that coincides with order-of-operations, when you put multiplication(distribution) BEFORE division, you conflict distribution with order-of-operations
48 ÷ 2 (9+3)
left to right, thats all it is
48 ÷ 2 (9+3)
left to right, thats all it is

I don't understand what's so hard to get: THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS EQUATION. Sorry for the caps.

8. But people in here would be saying ohhh you can't split it up, it is all one term! 2(2) HAS to be done before the Exponent, because it is Parentheses first! And ANYTHING attached to the parentheses. Well what about the exponent...isn't that attached..?

The 2 IS A PART OF THE 12..NOT THE 48!!!!Originally Posted by dmxgod
true, but why are you multiplying the 2 before you divide?
48/2(2+3)
=48/2(12)
NOW SOLVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT LIKE ANY OTHER MATH PROBLEM YOU'VE EVER DONE. MULTIPLICATION DOES NOT TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER DIVISION
=24(12)
=288
at Team 2
So 48/2(12)
48/24=2
You should just retire. You fail at math and comprehension.

To make this official anyone saying the distributive property is why the answer is 2 is flat out wrong. The only possible way to think the answer is 2 is if you believe juxtaposition outweighs normal order of operation which is at least arguable. Distributive property only covers variables.

It's not that it only covers variables, but the fact that if you are going to distribute (which would be multiplication), the division comes first. So you have to distribute 48÷2 to what is inside the parentheses.
[48÷2(9)] + [48÷2(3)]
[24(9)]+[24(3)]
216+72

Team 2 were either improperly taught to use the distributive property or never really learned the Order of Operations. Which is it?

you know Team 2 is *#!%%! up when they start talking about how parentheses includes implied outside multiplication

you do pemdas to each term until they are simple enough in the context of the problem. in our problem you leave the 48, and then do pemdas to the 2(9+3). after you simplify the 2(9+3) to 24 you then to pemdas to the original problem to get 48÷24.
in the problem above, there is only 1 term so you do pemdas to it.
2(4-2)^2 =
2(2)^2
2(4)
=8
you have to realize that our problem deals with 2 separate terms, and you have to do PEMDAS to both terms in order to simplify them. after that you continue with the original problem.
