48÷2(9+3) = ?

<< < (5/6) > >>

ivanduk:
same thing with 5 - (2+3)

if we calculate 5 - (2+3) equals 0

but if we remove quotes () it will be 5-2+3 which equals 6

hope i cleared it up

[MAF]mooman:
order of operations!

i've seen quite a few of these on facebook mostly with something like 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 x 0 having 0 as the most popular answer "cos anything times 0 is 0!" which is true but you do multiplication/division before subtraction/addition so you do 5 x 0 first THEN the rest. and if that's too tough for you just use wolfram alpha :L

some_punk:
the parenthesis are already  * or  x   .    eg:  2(5)=10

48/2(9+3)= X
48/2(12) = X
48/24 = X
2 = X

X=2

[MAF]Cromiell:
Why are you guys putting number 12 into brackets after adding numbers. There is not point in it I guessss? That's why you give the wrong answers.
