why's this thread 27 pages?
Because people don't know basic math. Throwing in brackets and parentheses, treating multiplication like exponents, and completely misunderstanding the order of operations.

Because once you get to the step you work from left to right.

if that's the case, why did you divide 48 by 2 before you got rid of that parenthesis?

But you would agree you have to solve for the parentheses, which means the 2 gets distributed, right?Originally Posted by UbUiBeMe
I teach high school math and the discussion in here is pretty funny.
Multiply OR Divide LEFT to RIGHT and both rank equally meaning you don't have to multiply first because it comes first in PEMDAS!. Keyword is "OR."
You don't multiply the 2 just because of distribution. It will always be LEFT to RIGHT!
Yo my dude does NOT want to accept the truth...
Fam, stop with the distribution...it doesn't apply...damnnnn...

Got rid of the parentheses? The parentheses indicate a priority WITHIN them. You can have them in the problem and proceed as they indicate multiplication.
It can still be there and not be the highest priority, it is what is within the ( ) that needs the priority.
Oh they sure did. But....there's no variables
