It will always equal 288 Denominator (in this case is 2). If it was actually 2*(9+3) the entire denominator must be wrapped so.... (2*(9+3)).
I know it's late to chime in but the answer as the formula is written is 288.

Its been a while but the 2(9+3) is done before dividing into 48. It is considered a "package" or 2 times what's in the parenthesis.
Correct answer is indeed 2.
Cant believe this went 4 pages.
And yes I have taken Calculus so I know Algebra like it was beaten into me.
