48 (divided by) 2(9 + 3)
9+3 = 12
2(12) = 24
48 (divided by) 24 = 2 <----------*cough*
The answer is: 2.
And EVEN IF you think the answer is 288... check this out:
Use Multiplication and Division between the digits in 288.
'2' DIVIDED BY '8' = 0.25
0.25 TIMES '8' = 2 <------------- *cough*
Reverse it.
'2' TIMES '8' = 16
16 DIVIDED BY '8' = 2 <-----------*cough*
Now use Addition and Subtraction with the same digits.
'2' PLUS '8' = 10
10 MINUS '8' = 2 <--------------*cough*
Reverse it.
'2' MINUS '8' = -6
-6 PLUS '8' = 2 <--------------*cough*
Math is fun.

uhhhh.... 48 (divided by) is not to be even touched until the numbers INSIDE bracket are solved first. and numbers TOUCHING BRACKETS are solved second and applied to the "main" equation.
OVERALL is 48 divided by result of 2(9+3)
OVERALL is 48 divided by 2(12)
OVERALL is 48 divided by 24
OVERALL EQUATION = 2
INSIDE FIRST
OUTSIDE TOUCHING SECOND
OVERALL LAST
YOU cannot INVENT BRACKETS. L2Math.

Obelus '˜' The obelus is primarily used as a symbol for division (as on a calculator) and as an operator in elementary arithmetic. Division is also signified in other ways ù usually as a fraction: by writing the operands one above the other and separated by a line, or on the same line separated by a solidus or slash. Source
One above the Other.
48 ˜ 2(3+9) = 2
48
-------
2(3+9) <----- One above the Other.
Left to Right predecence? Yes. Written properly? Yes.
The ommision of the Multiplication symbol signifies that this equation has 3 WHOLE groups, not 4. Therefore, in order to get the answer, you need to solve the groups first. Since the Group 1 is already solved, in ORDER:
48 is Group 1
------ <--- DIVIDE BY = Fraction = One above the Other.
2(3+9) is Group 2, which is to be solved still based on Bracket rules of Implied Math.
48
-----
2(12) Group 3 solved with Addition of Bracket contents
48
---
24 Group 2 is now solved by Multiplication of it's contents.
Fraction results

Where did you guys go to school? This is BASIC math!
48 ˜ 2(3+9) = 48 ˜ 2 * 12 = 24 * 12 = 288
I suggest some of you reread your highschool math books. This is not a language issue.
/facepalm
Edit for clarity
Sorry man, but OMMISION of the Multiplication symbol implies grouping. And that has to be solved first. The equation is ambiguous on that end. You cannot come up with your answer unless you change the original equation to your taste. I, on the other hand, DO NOT CHANGE THE ORIGINAL EQUATION in solving it.

so what you're saying is
48 ˜ 2(12)
48 ˜ (2 x 12) = 288 ?
Incorrect.

I would like to thank the op for highlighting why there can never be an agreed upon answer by the Eve player base.
Edit: To anything!
I don't know but I can't stress enough the fact that 288 only comes when people don't use algebra to solve it.
48 ˜ 2(3+9)
a = 3
c = 9
a + c = b
b = 12
48 ˜ 2(a + c)
48 ˜ 2(b)
48 ˜ 2b
48 ˜ (2 x b)
48 ˜ (2 x 12)
48 ˜ 24 = 2

a = 3

a + c = b
b = 12
48 ˜ 2(a + c)
48 ˜ 2(b)
--> This is the part where you are wrong. 48 ˜ 2 * (b) = 48 ˜ 2 * b -> You have to solve this from left to right: first 48 ˜ 2 then multiply that result by b.
48 ˜ (2 x b)
48 ˜ (2 x 12)
48 ˜ 24 = 2
I understand your reasoning, but Ommision implies grouping. Grouping stays intact in all equations. You can't "ungroup" the 2b once it's formed.

Did you know: You can guess the very close approximate ( +/- .00000002 ) decimal value for all fractions of the number 49 by multiplying them by 1, 2, 4, and 8 as follows:
1/49 = .01020408 (or double every 2 digits)
2/49 = .02040816
3/49 = .03061224
4/49 = .04081632
5/49 = .05102040
6/49 = .06122448
7/49 = .07142856
8/49 = .08163264
and so on....
Figured this out when I was 10 years old.
The answer is still 2, by the way.

Ok, so its a troll topic, but still,
Look at it in this manner :-
48/2(9+3)=
48/(18+6)=
48/24=
2
It's inside brackets first then next to brackets, or as in the above solution, work out the bracket
anyway :-
48/2(9+3)=
48/2(12)=
48/24=
2
You have violated the "order of operations".
Nope. 2(12) = (Group2((Group3)) because the '2' is TOUCHING the '(12)' bracket. When '2' is touching the bracket '(' it explicitely bonds with the contents of that bracket. It cannot be separated like you are doing. That's why this becomes an algebra equation. When b = 12, then 2(b) = 2b = 24
Order of Operations does not APPLY until after this particular group is solved.
The ONLY way this equation can be answered with 288 is if it was SPECIFICALLY Written like these 3 examples:
48 ˜ 2 x (3+9)
(48 ˜ 2)(3+9)
(48 ˜ 2) x (3+9)

Well when I got taught this basic **** it was in primary school and was called that, who cares though, results are what matters
Eitherway Op should be shot for not using / as a divide sign, cant stand that other sign and it is probably what made people get confused in the first place.
(2^2√3)^2/2^1(3^2+3^1)=0
What's the answer? :3
8=0
