48÷2(9+3) = ???

[i3]

48÷2*(12) = ___ (Solve left to right)


Once you get to this stage in life, you can see there is DIVISION and MULTIPLICATION - going from LEFT TO RIGHT, what happens?

Besides... im glad NT isn't all about this http://niketalk.com/topic/251555/POST-PICS--CUTE-FINE-GIRLS-VOL--ADULT-STARS-STRICTLY-CLEAN?page=213

I dont understand why people are multiplying the 2 with (9+3). You work with parenthesis first. 2 is not in the parenthesis. Writing 2(9+3) is the same as 2 x (9+3). Therefore after adding 9+3, you work from LEFT to RIGHT.

(9+3)=12
48/2=24
24 x 12 = 288.

PEMDAS...P comes before Multiplication.

BODMAS...B (which stands for bracket) comes before Multiplication.

You can't just bypass the rules.

How does it go against the order of operations if that's how you take care of the parenthesis. The multiplication required to dissolve the parenthesis overrides the order of operations because it is a part of the parenthetical.

Your roommate is wrong. The answer is 2 (or 8.66667).

oh really? so you ignore the order of operations when you feel like it, but follow it at all other times? cool.

I dont think he fully understands the rule he is trying to apply.
2(9+3) is just 2 * (9+3) and I dont think he understands that. 

 

[snakeyes17]

Since when did a number multiplied by a parentheses become part of the parenthetical?
Some of you guys did not pay attention in math class, it's only what is inside the parentheses, after that you're in the clear...

How come everybody that states (2) has a grammar problem?

  

How are you going to call someone out for grammar when you apparently don't have a grasp on what the word 'grammar' even means?

I know this is right. That 2 applies to the brackets. This is correct 100%. you must do the multiplication, then the addition. BEDMAS. = Brackets, Exponents, Divide, Multiply,Add, Subtract.

Get those brackets out of here. The NCAA tourney been over.

 I remember in grade 10 my teacher always threw those in. it makes it more clear. if you had math knowledge you would understand.

Well I'm here to bust yo brackets.

It's not in the OG problem.

@ 8th grade algebra being "math knowledge".

He said people think you do the 9 plus 3 and then read left to right but that's incorrect.

48 dived by 12 equals 4 just for the record.
And you didn't present the problem to him correctly or he didn't do it right. It is only within the (). Attached? Not in the case of this problem.

One of you 288's tell me, if the above equation is true, would you be able to accept that 2 is the answer?

That's not true though. The problem is 48 / 2(9+3) not 48 / (2(9+3)) or 48 / (2*1(9+3))
You can't just add in parentheses to change the answer of a problem.
If the problem were 48 / (2*1(9+3)) I would accept that 2 is the answer, because it IS the answer in that case.

The way you're doing it the parentheses are still there by the time you start dividing. Just because you've solved what's in the parentheses doesn't mean it goes away. If there's a number attached to it, you have to distribute. It's not multiplication....it's distribution. If you can't differentiate the two, then it's no point arguing.

Ok, let's leave the parenthesis, even after solving what's in it. We are left with...

[h3]48÷2(12)[/h3]This equation ^^ is literally
[h3]48÷2x1(12)[/h3]
which is

[h3]48÷2x12[/h3]
You don't NEED to have the parenthesis there anymore around the 12.

And now you just solve the equation from left to right and you'll get 288.

Stop being hard-headed.

Nope.     2(9+3)   is not equal to 2 x 1(9+3)

yes.

but the equation is not written this way. you added parthentheses...we solved the equation as it was originally written.

the answer would also be 2, IF the equation was written as 48/(2(9+3))...not sure why you continue to use this as your main argument, when neither of those are the original equation.

I don't think you understand that there is an imaginary 1 in front (9+3). So it's 2 * 1(9+3). I don't think you understand.
