But you do agree that there are a possibility of three answers, but you still champion 288. That's a $$%!% move. Stand by your word and say that the answer is undefinable.
I don't know why no one called your !%! out on that earlier. Pitiful.
Yes, there is a possibility of three answers...ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU RESORT TO MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE APPLIED, WORD TO THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY...

If you tackle the math the way it's supposed to be done, there is only one answer = 288.
