48÷2(9+3)=?????

[Miklo]

Some of y'all might have seen this problem floating around on the internet as of late....

Anyways, what's the answer?

[Tre 6 Months]

...........Googling..........

[HBD]

I haven't done algebra in 30 years ...

but i'm guessing 9+3 =12 ... X 2 =24
48 divided by 24 = 2

is it a trick question ?

[Lil Joker]

24(9+3)=216+72=288....rite?

[Tre 6 Months]

2,without Google too. my girl knew the answer.not me

That's what I came up with. :huh:

[Travis]

25/23(X^2*11) = 0

What is X?

This is basically what I came up with.

I don't know if y'all remember PEMDAS, but if you take that into account, it would be 288, because you multiply and divide from left to right...but at the same time, if it's written as a fraction, it's completely different.

I'm going with 288, but this has been fuckin with my mind!

[Lil Joker]

PEMDAS ftw!

[TAPE]

why would a pre-algebra equation like this be floating around the webs?

[TAPE]

fuck now I see why yea.... I'm going with 2

I guess....but neither is wrong.. It's a principle of math that it doesn't matter how you get to the result just as long as your work checks out, no?

24(9+3)=216+72=288....rite?

Srry bro that is extremely wrong! But for a yearly payment of $19.99 I can send you the answer!! Just send the cash to bobcarr@raiderfans.net THX BRO. :bro::bro::beer::beer:

[Sonny Cheeba]

I thought it was BEDMAS..? :huh:

Brackets-exponents-division-multiplication-addition-subtraction? :jlh:

[SwarcoRaider]

Ya dont u do whats in the parenthesis first

[TAPE]

BEDMAS AND PEMDA same concept... Parenthesis always have priority. And Multiplication and Division have equal priority

only 20 bucks? i'd be an idiot NOT to send a donation!:chx:

The numbers next to the parenthesis always take priority. It is written 48/2(9+3) so the order is add first then times it with 2 to give you 48/24 = 2

It was not written 48/2 X (9+3) originally.

technically there is supposed to be parentheses around the whole denominator so it should look like

48/ (2 * (9 + 3)) to distinguish between these two forms.

This problem is because of using the / character for division. If we wrote this equation on paper we could use the horizontal line for fraction and it would go over the whole denominator, making it easier to tell.

So then it IS 2.

[TAPE]

fuck Travis' equation BTW. He is a dick for that.

If you follow PEMDAS, you would add what's in the Parenthesis first
48÷2(12)

Then, you would Multiply/Divide from left to right, regardless of which comes first; they have equal priority. The parenthesis simply means "multiply". Same thing as
48÷2*12

Following that, you would get 288.

Now, I read yesterday some guy stating that there are some math professors who state that a number connected to a parenthesis, ie 2(12), takes precedence over a simple * for multiplication. Why, I don't know; no explanation was provided. If we take this as fact, then you are right, the answer would be 2. I took a lot of math throughout school, and started out as an engineer here at UCSD and went through a lot of calculus, and I don't remember ever having a professor that said that a number connected to a parenthesis takes priority over a regular multiplication or division sign.

So basically, I don't know what to believe, and I kinda think that's the point. It all depends on how you read the equation, basically.

[Travis]

You're missing the point. Like DC said there are parenthesis around the whole denominator

2(12) is the same as (2(12)) but its redundant to show it that way.

[Dewn Coon]

So then it IS 2.

rite

[IndyRaider]

It's 288.

Don't make it more complicated than it seems.

[David]

its actually.. 4 GOI!

[SwarcoRaider]

It's 288.

Don't make it more complicated than it seems.

nah its 2 you do whats inside the parenthesis first

[Big Game Geoff]

Left to rite. Answer is 288, IDIOTS...

[SwarcoRaider]

Left to rite. Answer is 288, IDIOTS...

then why even have the parenthesis then? they are there for a reeezin

[Big O Dick]

Dont panic idiots!!!!!!!!

[Big Game Geoff]

then why even have the parenthesis then? they are there for a reeezin

Doon Koon has some explaining to do. Ioi..

[IndyRaider]

Left to rite. Answer is 288, IDIOTS...

Glad somebody gets it.

[TAPE]

I was never taught that left to right takes priority over parenthesis...

They are both fundamentals... but I was taught u ALWAYS solve parenthesis first.

You motherfuckers have a lot of nerve, I guess it's easy to talk that shit on the net.


Because the answer is still 2. Take that left to right shit somewhere else son.

[SwarcoRaider]

^glad someone gets it

It costs 10 grand a year to rent the super computers to figure out this problem ...

HAHAHAHAHA nice

:clap: :clap: :clap: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[IndyRaider]

Typing big still doesn't cnange the fact that the answer is 288.

[SwarcoRaider]

The answer if you do it improperly is 288

[Big O Dick]

Al still calls the shots and the answer is 2!!!!!! :csa: :pissed:

[silver & black]

GOI!!!

[IndyRaider]

Sorry, but the answer is NOT 2.....not now.....not ever.


For the answer to be 2 the problem would have to be written 48/[2(9+3)]. Thats not how the problem was presented. It's simple math, just work left to frickin right.

[SHWoff]

It's 288... EoS (end of story)...

2 is tha ansaw of teh dehcades .. So GTFOI

[Lil Joker]

I agree with Indy and Shwolf, i got 288, i'm sticking with that shit, GOI.

[Big O Dick]

You m#$&%*@$&@#$ have some nerve!!!!!!!!!! :csa:

[Cletus McFetus]

I'm having a hard time believing people in this thread.

The problem would be worked out as 48/[(2)9+(2)3].........

[Lil Joker]

But you can't distribute 2. I can't really explain it but you can't do x÷y(a+b)=x÷(ya+yb). I think it's because the 2 is supposed to be dividing into 48, so you can't just take it out of its own problem. It's just RONG!

That's exactly how you do it.

[HBD]

2 + 2 x 2 = ?

[Big Game Geoff]

2 + 2 x 2 = ?

Ayt...

1. Paste in google: 48÷2(9+3)
2. Get answer from google: (48 ÷ 2) * (9 + 3) = 288

Do you trust google?

Really though write it this way:

Math is always left to right with exceptions of PEMDAS....
