Who taught you that? I'm curious cause I've never heard that. In Canada it's taught BEDMAS and that's because multi/divisi are interchangeable. Unless you mean in this specific equation, in which case I still think you're wrong.

So why isn't this equation, with 48(1/2)(9+3) distributed like that?Originally Posted by balloonoboy

So what would ab(c+d) be?
You cant add parentheses that aren't in the original equation.
ab(c+d) would be the same as (abc + abd)
since when? Multiplication and Division are done in the order that they appear, after parenthesis and exponents are doneOriginally Posted by UnkleTomCruze

Jeezus Christ this thread is scary.
The O.g equation can also be re-written as: 48/(2(9+3)) or 48/(18+6).
Either case should result in 2 as your answer.
The two in the original equation is attached to the (9+3). You cannot separate the 2 from the (9+3).
All y'all getting 288 honestly need to commit that because we can't afford to have y'all spreading y'all genes.
288?...
...
- Parentheses and Brackets -- Simplify the inside of parentheses and brackets before you deal with the exponent (if any) of the set of parentheses or remove the parentheses.
- Exponents -- Simplify the exponent of a number or of a set of parentheses before you multiply, divide, add, or subtract it.
- Multiplication and Division -- Simplify multiplication and division in the order that they appear from left to right.
- Addition and Subtraction -- Simplify addition and subtraction in the order that they appear from left to right.

Because it doesn't adhere to the distributive property rule. Y'all making this way too complicated.Originally Posted by IRockTMacs

Two different questions.
48/2(9+3) = 288
48/(2(9+3)) = 2
Two different questions.
