    This is pretty much what happened. But it was nice for the little guy to get one on them for once.

    Re: 48÷2(9+3)=?????

    if you set the equation to 48 / x(9+3) = 2 and to 48 / x(9+3) = 288 ......... doesn't the math dictate that 2 is the right answer ???

    Cause 'x' has to be equal to 2 ..... right???

    Unless I'm wrong, in which case .... ?????

    Am I the only one who sees no use for pen and paper math and doesn't give a fig about this question - which I am still skeptical on? I can write a computer program to figure this shit out, why the hell do I want to solve manually?

    I have never seen a more stupid debate. There is no "correct" answer to this. This is not even remotely a question of mathematics, it's just a question of notation. I can't believe this topic is 28 pages long.

    for:
    48 / x(9+3) = 2
    48 * (9+3) = 2 * x
    (48 * 12)/2 = x
    288 = x

    for:
    48 / x(9+3) = 288
    48 * (9+3) = 288 * x
    576/288 = x
    2 = x

    We already know that x is supposed to be = 2, so the first option doesn't make any sense.

    The answer is 288, backread if you must. It's not ambiguous. 288 is the right answer.
