Distributive property is key here folks. As written, 2(9+3) must be equal to 2(9)+2(3), which is of course 24. Thus 48/24=2. 288 would incorrectly apply the distributive property.

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

I can't tell if you 288 people are dumb as shite or just trolling. Either way this thread is funny.

If that easy assed problem "broke the internet" it's because America is populated by fricking math idiots who never learned the simple phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally"

Good fricking lord. Do the parenthesis then work left to right. SIMPLE.

If you got this wrong, you're a math failure.

The crappy division sign and moving the 2 by the parentheses tricked me at first. The answer is 288
