explain how you got to this answer.
then explain how you got 2 for the original problem.

You've got to be @#$#$# kidding me. 
Dropout out of whatever school you're in. 

you go to washington, though.
and Wr up there^ has the right idea. props to me not being the only one who knows how to do simple algebra.

Lol and? What college do you go to?

Cause if you're attending a top-tier one you better be able to get the correct answer on this simple !@# problem. If you fail to realize that 48/2(9+3) and 48/2 * (9+3) are the same thing then, like I said earlier, you should consider dropping out. 

Edit: Okay, I'm the moron and you guys are getting the answer of 2 

How ironic.

If it was 2 * (9 + 3) then you don't HAVE to multiply it by 9+3.

My lecturer (with a math degree, among other qualifications) said that this is the correct way to do this formula.


Having the 2 beside the bracket means that in reality it is [2(9+3)].

there should be no way someone gets 33 in this problem
without getting 288 for the original....

[certifiedsw]

I am still in awe that dude called me a moron yet he is dead set on the fact that the answer is 2 

Wow. All the calculators in the world agree that it's 288, Google agrees that it's 288, Wolfram Alpha agrees that it's 288.

What more proof do you want?

Edit: Yes, please make a youtube video so from there I can help you out with the problem lol
