Point is, using the Dis.property yields 2 different answers:

2 if you keep the parenthesis (which you are not supposed to, anyway)

and 

8.666 if you lose the parenthesis.

The fact that you have 2 different answers using the same process is evidence that the process is FLAWED.

terms inside them."

But you can and you should have before multiplying them by 2

Wow...

I guess y'all the "baby-steps" type...

.

Ok here goes:

48 ÷ 2 (9+3) = 48 ÷2(12)

2 (12) = 2 x 12

therefore

48 ÷2(12) = 48 ÷2 x 12.

Because the multiplication and division sign have the same precedence and/or are of equal rank, you just solve the equation from left to right:

48/2 = 24 x 12 = 288.

This is the correct answer.


Now using the DISTR. property, you get:

 48 ÷ 2 (9+3) =

48 ÷ (2x 9) + (2x3) =

48 ÷ 18 + 6

Applying PEMDAS results in: 48/18 = 2.666 + 6 = 8.6666.


OR

48 ÷ 2 (9+3) =

48 ÷ (18+6) =

48/24 = 2


See here we have two different answers when you use the distr.property and that why it's the wrong way to go. You can't just choose to accept the answer you agree with and disregard the one you don't agree with even though you're using the same process.

Y'all problem is the fact that y'all not even using the distributive property correctly. After distributing, the parenthesis vanishes. You don't keep it. It doesn't stay.

How y'all arguing for a property and don't even know the governing dynamics...

...

In either case, whatever answer you get is still WRONG as the correct answer is 288.

For real though, I get where the 2 people who are going off of juxtaposition are coming from, but that isn't a definite. And for anyone else who is just doing order of operations wrong or something ridiculous ....

The brackets dont disappear. You have to do the 2*12 first.

The brackets or parenthesis are literally the exact same thing as x or *. If that's so hard to understand, take them away and replace them with x or * and you'll get the exact same equation.

But the 2 isnt in the brackets.....so what makes you think you have to do that first?
