48÷2(9+3) = ???

[scotthallwithapick]

This is more so a comprehension question than an actual math question

If you are using pemdas why are you multiplying before division?

P.E.M.D.A.S

   Because Multiplying comes before Division.......


you follow the steps in order....

48/2(9+3)     Parentheses

48/2*12      Multiplying

48/24          Division

=2

If you think that multiplying always comes before division, you MUST also agree that addition comes before subtraction.

With that being said, you MUST agree that 1-1+1= -1.  We all know that the answer to that equation is 1 not -1.  (MD and AS are equal in priority)

after completing (9+3), the 2(12) is still considered "Parenthesis"... so even when you have factor it in, its still solving "everything" that is pertaining to the parenthesis.

and should be treated as its own category.

this is the problem, people who keep saying theyre a single term (2(9+3)) are adding parentheses that are unproven in order to restructure the problem

allow me to add some parentheses that dont need proving

(4/(2)(9+3)

No the problem then becomes 48 / 2 * (12). The parenthesis is only there to combine the 9+3. If the 48 wasn't there then you can combine 2 and 12.

Once 12 becomes 12 the parenthesis HAVE TO disappear. THERE IS NO PROOF of anyone keeping the parenthesis on any equation after its becomes an real number. You are trying to make up math.

No.

The "Parenthesis" rule pertains to everything inside the parenthesis.  At the point you get to 2(12) you are now dealing with Multiplication 2(12) = 2*12.  M/D would then be performed left to right.  48/2(12) = 48/2*12 = 24*12 = 288.
