Which one is right?

So is rejecting it.

Well its wrong. 288 is the answer but id like to know how 2 could be the answer other than the calculater said so

the 86 is currently correct. look, most people never go beyond basic algebra and even more people never go to college and even then, algebra is bullshit. in fact, calculus is bullshit aside from learning the concepts and they don't much require algebra. order of operations in this case simply accepts the vinculum as notation and not operation.

even calculus is stupid. when you kill yourself to get an A in calc I, you take calc II and they tell you that integrals are fucking stupid pattern bullshit and real engineers have giant books full of them and don't do the math by hand, filling two pages per problem.

now, we have some crazy shit called computers and math is fucking stupid. you just put in the rules and it does it for you.

STFU nigger

nice dubs!

When there's ambiguity the right thing to do is to solve from left to right, as you read a text from left to right.

so
48/2*(9+3)
=48/2*12
Ambiguity starts here because division and multiplication have equal priorities.
=24*12
= 288

using the PEMDAS system most people learn and accept in 5th-12th grade. you do (9+3) to get 12. then 12*2 to get 24, then finally 48/24 to get the PEMDAS answer, 2

absolutely based
