Word. Explaining this to Team 2 is like explaining to a White Supremacist that everybody is equal.
48÷2(9+3) = ???

You're going extra hard on this topic. Chill with that white supremacist nonsense, kid.

Nah you can't. If it was all in the denominator it would have parentheses or brackets like (2(9+3)) or [2(9+3)] in the original problem.

I asked my teacher who used to teach at harvard he said the answer is 56, so

Explain to me please do
What is 48 / (10 - 6)
Now I factor out a 2 and right this
48 / 2 (5 - 3)
these are equivalent!
I'll even put varibles
X / (by - bz) = X / b(y-z)
Distribution ALWAYS APPLIES to Communitve. Why you ask?
Commutative Property
An operation is commutative if you can change the order of the numbers involved without changing the result.
Distributive Property
The most common distributive property is the distribution of multiplication over addition. It says that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two other numbers, the first number can be handed out or distributed to both of those two numbers and multiplied by each of them separately
The Reason why it applies because the order can be changed without changing the results. If the results are different it does not apply.

You NEED TO TURN 2+3 TO 5 BEFORE ANYTHINGOriginally Posted by yungchris504
No you do not I really can't understand why this is so hard to understand. Please explain to me what I wrote is not right. I broke it down in steps.Originally Posted by usainboltisfast
So order of operations doesnt matter as long as the answer is right?
Look at the proper steps in the question you ALWAYS have to simplify whats in the parenthesis first before moving on. You are basically disagreeing with order of operations by doing anything else.
10 x 2 (2+3) = 10 x ( 2*2 + 2*3) = 10 x ( 4 +6) = 10 x 10 = 100

allow me to condense the argument you seem to think you have made
2=2
you didnt prove anything will all that jargon
you probably cant even explain why you THINK distribution ie MULTIPLICATION comes before division in order-of-operations

No You do not. Since this is commutative the order of operations doesn't matter if the result is the same. That is the rule.

No doubt. If you follow the original equation how it is written, and use the order of operations, you will arrive at 288 every time. Why do they keep having to add symbols and alter the equation to arrive at their answer?

You know it's RIP for Team 2 when the only person left arguing is someone who thinks Orders of Operations don't matter.

Show me an example that proves what you are saying then if thats the case. I guarantee you will not find ANY place that will not simplify what is in the parenthesis first.

Of course!
Team 2 for life. But no point in arguing if nobody will listen.
Factor in everyone claiming troll this and troll that trying to make this into an A vs B thread... this thing isn't even worth the trouble.
