After the addition, the parenthesis doesnt disappear.....it represents multiplication.  Simple.

It's 2.

Set x=48

x/2(9+3)=2
x/24=2
(24)x/24=2(24)
x=48

x/2(9+3)=288
x/24=288
(24)x/24=288(24)
x=6912

We ain't conceding. What this look like a civil war?

PEMDAS

you add 2(9+3) and you get 2(12)

You still have parenthesis though.

2(12)=24

48divided by 24 = 2

You still have parenthesis though.

2(12)=24

48divided by 24 = 2

THe 288 people think that once you add the 9+3 you do step two of pemdas where division comes first.

they are incorrect because the "P" is to fully calculate the entire 2(9+3) first. The two is attached to the "P" so it must be done before going to step 2.


THE ANSWER IS 2
