Parentheses first.
48/2(9+3).
48/2(12).
Then divide. If the equation has both a division and multiplication sign, such as this one, then you do whatever occurs first, first. In this problem, division occurs first, so you divide. If it was instead a multiplication sign first, then you would multiply before dividing.
You get:
24(12)
Then multiply it.
Final Answer:
288
This is such an easy equation, but I can understand why and how someone would mess it up. It's just funny how the people who have the wrong answers cannot face the fact that they're wrong, and yet, call others stupid and dumb. They are too ignorant to realize their mistakes.
Sorry for the big font, but after 117 pages of nonsense and arguments, I just wanted to get the point across and show people how do this equation correctly in an easy/understandable format.

crux, i dont get what you're trying to prove. all you did was write the equation in different ways.
that like me saying:
[h3] 48÷2(9+3) =/= (48/2)(1/(9+3))[/h3]
because (48/2)(1/(9+3)) = 48/(2(9+3))
