2(12) still has a parenthesis and can still be simplified, taking priority over ÷ and *

WAT...

Am I the only one who caught this?

I've been saying that 2(12) falls under "M" for 20 pages now, and no one has listened.

same dudes that are saying that "÷" is not the same as "/"

even though its impossible to write "X" and "*" differently, theyre different right?  even though its impossible?

2 dudes making up "rules" left and right in this thread

......or like me (quoted from a few pages back): 
 

   ......let me also add:
 
 
48÷2(9+3) is the OG question from best i can find it. i say that because 48÷2(9+3) = 48/2(9+3) but 48/2(9+3) has the potential to be interpreted differently.
 
 
- for example: 48/2(9+3) could be interpreted 48         =
                                                                               2 (9+3)
 



 
.....i was taught right, i just visualized the problem wrong.

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..?

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.

so how would you go about solving this one?

[yankees1129]

oh! so now its about how many terms are in front of the (...)?
any support to this claim?

seriously? 2(9+3) has now become one term? THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE TERMS.

apparently not when you follow PANNTPBOIMEMDAS

9. now you're gonna say how the website says 9 is the wrong answer, then im going to reply with this website

http://www.freemathhelp.c...stributive-property.html

which shows if you copy and paste the problem out of the title it gives you 2.

EDIT: that's a website team 288 posted in this thread btw

so now freemathhelp.com outweighs wolfram... you dudes literally try to find every loop hole in the world to say 2 is right its cute
