It's MORE than obvious (9+3)=12. Shouldn't be ANY argument in that. So 2(9+3)= 2(12) which = 2*12 which = 24. So take the first number which is 48 and divide that by the answer of 2*12 which is 24 and you get 2. This isn't hard.

Love how the people who are obviously wrong come out with the insults as if it helps their position.
Don't know why you are doing 2*12 before 48/2 since by doing that you are violating the normal order of operations.
You're right, this isn't hard. So I don't know why people keep coming up with 2 when the answer is 288.
If you know of a rule that makes 2(9+3) take precedence in the order of operations over something else then speak up and show some proof.
But you know of no such rule because it doesn't exist. That said, the normal order of operations should be followed and when it is from left to right we get 48/2 = 24 and then 24(9+3) which is 288.
Go ahead Gator B, this isn't hard right? All you people saying you know of this magical rule can surely show me somewhere where this rule is published as a rule in mathematics? It isn't. Did you guys want me to show you some published rules about BEDMAS (or PEMDAS)??
2(3) is no different a number than 2 * 3. And 2(9+3) is no different a number than 2 * 12.
Go ahead - prove me wrong. I would love to be proven wrong because I am so damn sick of being right about everything. I am always right and I hate it so I invite you to show me the rule that says one kind of multiplication is different than another when it comes to order of operations.
Until then please keep the insults to yourself lest you make a fool of yourself insulting the wrong person like me, Mr. Right.
I am always right. Please prove me wrong, any published rule will do.
