Which is why syntax matters. Are you trolling?
- No, because you that's not how math works. If an equation is written properly, then it doesn't matter which way you go. You can't claim the equation shows a 3 one way and 1/3 the other, then it's not the same equation. I get that you're arguing syntax, but I guess that's my whole argument...if an equation is written properly, then it doesn't matter which way you go. So, maybe we're arguing the same thing?

48*(1/2)(9+3) = 48*(1/2)(12) = 24(12) = 288
OR
(9+3)(1/2)*48 = (12)(1/2)*48 = 6*48 = 288
