is this not the first function outside the parentheses 48÷2? from l to rOriginally Posted by BC2310
The 2nd part of what you posted says "Then perform the functions outside the parentheses on that quanity"Originally Posted by ServeChilled81
it becomes (2)(12), or 2(12), or 2x12, and since there are no addends in the parentheses, you do not distribute it's just multiplication, that's all the parentheses is nowOriginally Posted by BC2310
What you posted says it becomes (2)(12) clear as day.You're on team2 and you don't even know it
repeat the order of op from the top.
it seems like your saying that 2(12) suggest something other than multiplying in the second step
