you divide both sides by 12 to isolate x, not multiply....

Actually you are right i found the REAL error. You made the division symbol disapear. do we agree that 48 divided variable is the same as 1/48 times the variable? If you are going to remove the divsion symbol you have to change it to 1/48. Not to sure about that but I need to work out the problem.

no,

48÷x == 48 * 1÷x

48÷x =/= 1÷48 * x

the second one would get you x÷48, which is clearly not 48÷x

You proved you know absolutely nothing about math with this post. 

Oh really? So the two posters who replied in this post know nothing about math either?

http://niketalk.yuku.com/...3-is-the-same-as-2x1-9-3

And I quantified by saying they may equal the same numeric value, but they are different expressions, which will change the answer of 48/2x1(9+3) and 48/2(9+3).

That's why they are different.

Laughable.
48 ÷ x(9+3) =288

Multiply both sides by x first.

48(9+3) = 288 x

576 = 288x

X = 2

You are right again. This is actually the same fundamental issue we have been having this entire debate. We are multiplying x by 12 before dividing 48 by x. we are multiplying still before dividing. If you divide 48 by x then multiply by 12 you will get 2. Sorry for the 2 erroneous posts.

This can't be real life. We don't treat two-step equations the same as order of operations equations.

You isolate the x to solve for it. PEMDAS doesn't matter here.

Stop contradicting yourself, you said nothing about you thinking they were the same numerical value. I clearly had to show that to you, and it wasn't until then that you tried to back track what you said. Stop posting.

You know completely nothing about math. By making x(9+3) into 12x you are MULTIPLYING. Jesus Christ, I feel like a @#$#@$ recording device repeating the same things over and over.

The problem is, as Wolfram Alpha stated, viewed as

48/x * (9+3) = 288

Like I said, the X is NOT associated with the parentheses. From there I'm sure you can solve the problem and you will get x=2.

PEMDAS is for simplifying terms.

when solving for X you can go in any order so long as you dont disrupt the balance of an equation.

if i have 5x+4= 2, i can either divide both sides by 5 first or subtract 4. it doesn't matter which i do first because im not unbalancing the equation when attempting to isolate x

Please point out how I did something wrong. What is your justification for multiplying the 12 by x rather than dividing 48 into x? You are saying to multiply before divide again which is WRONG. Order of operations applies for ALL problems.
