Some say 2. Some Say 288. Some say it's could be both 2 and 288 because the equation isn't specific enough regarding which system should be used!
Help!

288, remember BEDMAS
Brackets
Exponents
Divide
Multiply
Add
Subtract

It is a Math Abrev.
48/2*(9+3)
2x(3x^2+5x+2) = 2*x*(3*x^2+5*x+2)
(9+3) * 48/2 = 48/2 * (9+3)

On maths x(y... is counted as x*(y...

The way I was taught it in school it would be two-hundred and eighty-eight. As in the rule, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract, you match PE, MD, and AS togethor, and do whichever comes first in the problem.
Just the way I was taught and would've always done it :)
According to the state of VA school system 288 would be correct, but...;)

I thought it was BODMAS? But yes using that system it would be 288.

BODMAS is the same as BEDMAS, apart from exponent is know as order, pretty much the same thing

LOL :D It must be 2 :D because 2(9+3) is one expression... so first you must 9+3=12... then 2*12= 24... and the last 48:12=2 :D

Well i cant remember what the 'O' stands for lol But i think they're one and the same, just slightly different words depending whether you're in the UK or US.

written like that, I see it as
(48/(2*(9+3))
so it's 2
also my calc says it's 2
|
|
|
|

48÷2(9+3)
48/2 (12)
24*12
288
Just as simple as that.

I like "BAHAMAS" and want to stay 288 days there... but for the calculation I also think that it should be 2... :)

Heck, I learned it as "Please Excuse My Aunt Sally"! lol

We used 'BIDMAS'
We used ROYGBIV in physics xD
And GXUVIMR for the ultraviolet spectrum

not true i'm afraid..
at least from what math i know
48/2*(9+3)
first we resolve 9+3=12
so, 48/2*12
and you now must resolve them in their order, you can't do 2*12 before 48/2
at least that's what i know
and excell agrees with me :)
and my Calculator from Accessories :P

I am sticking to how I was taught to do it years back even if it is wrong, mphm ;P

Wow, I don't know how is it called, but I've never used * first and then / on those 2, who comes first, served first, so 288 for me
I made it on my calc and got 4

that was my first thought... but then I realized that there are no second brackets...
Wehn can change vote :)

Using algebra, make the answer x and solve the equation:
48/(2(9+3)) = x
2x(9+3) = 48
2x = 48/12
2x = 4
x = 2
