What I did NOT state is that such is the way that the original equation is calculated.
Let's see who else is quick to jump on your bandwagon in an attempt to correct what I did NOT state. 
By the way, the correct answer is still 2 |
48÷2(9+3) != 48÷(2*9+2*3)
You can't just move a bracket as you see fit. You have to follow the order of operations. There are rules for situations like this and if you stick to the rules and not follow some weird rule that you guys seem to know but no one seems to be able to prove then you come up with 288.
