There's no getting to them.

are you saying 2(2-1) cant be distributed to get (4-2)?

Technically it would be distributed to (4) - (2)

still waiting for your response to the examples i posted though...

I've asked what examples twice now. What page you posted it on or just tell me which ones in the PDF

I'm a huge nerd, actually. Well. Maybe geek.

But once a thread on a math equation reaches 90 pages that's just something else

And the easiest way to look at the above problem is to do it old school


48 / 2(9+3) is also



48
----------
2(9+3)




and another mistake you guys are making is if you divide the 2 by 48 you also must divide the (9+3) by 48 as well. Yall need some Differential Equations in yall lives.

[limitedretroog]

Turning the equation into a fraction would change it into a completely different equation altogether.
I will admit if the equation is a fraction, the answer would be 2. But as is? 288.

Son, just stop. I shut down that "example" you tried to show that proved you were right (which you aren't the example only helped prove that the answer is 28.
Go take a seat.

And like someone mentioned earlier, team 2:

Exactly. Clearly the author knows how to use parenthesis, if they wanted to indicate THAT fraction all they had to do is add a parenthesis before the 2 and after the end parenthesis.

[philthy]

what in the world is going on in here.

the answer is 2 ONLY if it was written 48/[2(9+3)]... you can't just assume that.

I am in engineering, i asked a few buddies i go to school with and they all said 288 as well. I asked them "if it isn't stated, do you assume the (9+3) is in the denominator?" and they all said "no" and i agree with them.

48/2*12 and you solve it left to right

Which problem?

Problems b and n

10 x 2 (2+3) = 10 x ( 4 +6)  = 10 x 10 = 100 (check)

4(16/2) x2(15/3) = (64 /

x (30 / 6 ) =  does not apply it only applies when it is distribute over addition and subtraction
