How do you think?

48÷2(9+3) = 2 or 288

Pole has been created. Comment on that question, please.

48÷2(9+3) = 2 or 288

( ) First. So 9+3 = 12. This is still between ( ), so you do 2 * 12 = 24. Then 48/24 = 2.

And the wrong way:
48/2 = 24, then * (12) = 288.

You always need to calculate the ( ) first, then / or * and after that + and -. That is why the second answer is wrong imo.

Was gonna vote 288, then reminded myself that you have to open the brackets first. Rule says so.

48/2(9+3) = 48/2*(9+3) = 24*12= 288   

/ * are equal according to priority order

to make 2 it's 48/(2(9+3)) =>  more  ()  to force priority to the invisible * (of 2*(9+3) )

I'm (2+25*4-V4+0²/5)% sure the correct answer is 2.

288 is the correct answer. multiplying and dividing are equal, so you divide 48/2 1st because its infront
