you fail reading comprehension
it's saying to solve what's in the parentheses first, then use that answer (THAT QUANTITY) to solve the rest of the problem (the operations outside of the parentheses)

What I read says "ON THAT QUANITY" and it refers to what's in the parentheses as "THE QUANITY" 
 
"the quantity" = 9+3

"operations outside of the parentheses" = 48/2

are you saying that when the author says "perform the operations outside of the parentheses" that he's talking only about what's directly next to "the quantity"?

That is precisely what I'm saying. 
"On that quanity" would translate to "directly next to 'the quanity'" for you.

again why would they need to reference the "order of operations" meaning more than one step, if they were only talking
about what is direct next to the parentheses.

Yeah, all the notes you posted are wrong, and I'm not the only one who thinks that.
Sure.

Okay, now I know you're a troll.

-11^2, MEANS -1 * 11^2. DO YOU SEE THE NEGATIVE SIGN???? THAT REPRESENTS -1. SO, PEMDAS.

PARENTHESES

EXPONENTS

MULTIPLICATION

SQUARE THE 11 FIRST. THEN MULTIPLY BY -1, HOW IS THIS EVEN ARGUABLE? THERE'S NO DEBATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

this cant be real life.

-(11)^2 = -121.  because the negative outside the parenthesis equals -1. so then your use of PEMDAS here would be correct. square what is inside the parenthesis, then multiply by -1.
-11^2= 121. because there is no -1, it's just -11*-11. do PEMDAS. no parenthesis, move on to exponents. square -11 and you get +121.
i have no idea how you don't see that.

@do work son, you are in SERIOUS need of a refresher. i am not even upset, but extremely saddened that you think you are right. 
Thank you. This dude needs a slap in the face.

if you think -11^2 means -1 * 11^2 you're implying a multiplication that just isn't there. if you have -(11)^2 then the parenthesis has a coefficient of -1, in which case you can multiply what's in the parenthesis by -1. if you honestly do not understand that concept....

LOL public school education FTL

even team 2 knows that that is wrong

Thought I was reading page 7 for a second.

Your math abilities are equivalent to that of a 4 year olds. Sickening. Your posts are straight blasphemous.
The two equations you posted are the exact same.

The calculators get it wrong because it groups (48/2) separate from (9+3).

If you analyze that equation 48 / 2(9+3), the bold should be treated as the first operation.

Why?

Because you go left to right but ONLY AFTER you've simplified the bold which is a "unit" in itself.

The bold was just simplified from (18+6)

So in essence, BEFORE THIS EQUATION WAS SIMPLIFIED, the original equation would have been...

48 / (18+6).

(got it from another forum btw, just wanted to see your guys input)
