Durty pancakes there is a difference between 2 * (9 + 3) and 2(9 + 3). If the question was 48/2 * (9 + 3) the answer would be 288. But being the 2 is attached to the brackets you have to do the entire bracket formula of 2(9 + 3). The 2 being attached means you must include that in the equation. If it was 2 * (9 + 3) then you don't HAVE to multiply it by 9+3.
i didn't wanna say it until someone mentioned it. x/2(9+3) is NOT the same as x/2*(9+3). The division sign makes a hell of a difference in this case.
Dropout out of whatever school you're in.
