48÷2(9+3)=?

No. :facepalm

ARGH

gotta distribute the shit outta that 2 if im not mistaken

That makes sense until you consider that once the addition inside of the parenthesis are taken care of, the parenthesis no longer exist. They are simply a symbol for multiplication. Then you work the problem left to right, according to this:

Just had a girl next to me do this. She got 2. A girl is smarter than you guys. How does that make you feel?

GHS up in hurr.

EXACTLY, THE FUCKING ( AND ) DONT EXIST AFTER U SOLVE WHATS INSIDE

THANK YOU

hey mods why isn’t this locked

you’re too stupid to know what smart is, you and her should make babies and maybe it will divide by zero

mods? shift518? :lol

ya you know

word of mouth right ?

If you do the addition first without applying the 2 outside to it during or directly after, you are IGNORING THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTIES of MULTIPLICATION (sp?)

wow this is a thread full of fail.
by working LEFT TO RIGHT, the correct way to go about the problem, you get 288.

:l

You are not distributing the 2 assigned to the parenthesis.

:facepalm

It’s a RULE

How the fuck are you guys ignoring it?

I’ve quoted the rule multiple times in the thread

3/4x5 is NOT the same as 3/4(5)

when i see the problem i work it out as so:
48/2(9+3)

48/2(12)

24(12)

288

no distribution necessary. we arent finding a variable here…

lol

WHY ISN’T THE THREAD LOCKED???

You are not getting it are you

It’s 48/(18+6)

Tell me what rule contradicts that

Seeing as y(9+3) = 9y+3y

Go re read the books

A number assigned to parenthesis like that, is a form of simplifying it.

Distributive property of multiplication

Look it up, stop ignoring it :facepalm

The answer is

maybe its the russian in you, but, its called ORDER of operations.
not my name is vlad and i do math however i fee like it operations.

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication & Division FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
Addition and Subtraction FROM LEFT TO RIGHT

how the fuck do you get 18 + 6 if you are supposed to do whats inside the parenthesis first???
you do NOT distribute the 2 at all.
holy shit, its like highschool again, where i had to always explain everything the teacher taught because the kids in my class were all tards:retardclap

again. ill be seeing a high school math teacher tomorrow who will answer this for everyone once and for all.
