Nah, the 2 is attached to the parenthesis, like an exponent. You can't take away the 2.Originally Posted by LimitedRetroOG
Why the hell is everyone so confused by this? The answer is CLEARLY 288.
You do the parentheses first, so 9+3=12.
Which leaves you with 48÷2*12
Then you go from left to right.
48÷2=24.
24*12=288.
THE DAMN ANSWER IS 288.
