Wow are ppl still arguing this?
I'll admit at first glance I said it was 2 bc I'm out of practice with these.
But then I hit myself and said no dummy it's 288.
2(9+3) can be written as 2x(9+3)
Which everyone knows is 24.
Go type the equation into google if you don't believe this

Nobody is arguing the answer. Strictly following the PEMDAS order of operations, the way it is taught in elementary arithmetic class, the 'answer' is 288.
Reading the statement the way an adult engineer would read it, the 'answer' is 2.
take your pick.
The discussion is about how inappropriate PEMDAS is for application to algebra.
