Ok I fail at the internets and linked the wrong site. Just woke up from nap. I'll take the L on that. My corrolla still says team2 and I've already posted this twice
"There are two interpretations of the equation:
1. That the multiplication of 2(9+3) carries precedence over the 48 being against the bracket (answer is 2)
and
2. That the true function before the bracket is 48/2 (answer is 28
This is apparently a mathematical quandry that math nerds joke about over lunch....the interpretation of the statement is ambiguous."
Also no one can answer why the old div symbol is used. That is the only reason I'm on team 2 because of the old symbol.
I also posted:
I understand both sides. I'm team 2.
÷ vs / is the problem.

288
So you see if the equation is written 48/2(9+3) I'm team 288 all day but how it's written with that old symbol I'm on team 2.
So really I'm on both teams, and believe the symbol is straight troll gold.
Yeah, you still think I'm an idiot but I'm definitely more mature than than most of you
