this is a troll thread though.
if you got this wrong, you are not a stupid person, it is written in a way that could be interpreted the wrong way.
if you need to see a proof i have it  |
You're talking about implied multiplication vs explicit in over riding the standard order of operations. There's no consensus on this, however, among even Mathemeticians. So how can you show "proof" of this when there's no agreement?
If you're following the standard order of operations the answer is 288.
