Since I'ver already provided multiple links pointing to the Standard Order of Operations without any of them making any mention of implicit multiplication outranking explicit multiplication, would somebody from the other camp please post some links documenting the standard that requires otherwise? If it's an agreed upon standard it must be pretty easy to find somewhere? I wasn't able to find anything conclusive myself. Perhaps you can educate me. I'm open to having my mind changed.
In the meantime consider this.
48÷2(9+3) = 48 x ½(9+3)
48 x ½(9+3) = 288
