48÷2(9+3) = ????

[cancer man]

parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract

48÷2(12)
48÷24
2

They are not brackets? PEMDAS

BEMDAS

48÷2[12]
48/2=24, times 12 = 288

cancer man you are forgetting that in either PEMDAS or BEDMAS. division/multiplication share the same precedence and subtraction/addition share the same precedence so you have to go left to right(ie: are interchangeable, so pemdas can be written pedmas or pemdsa or pedmsa all satifying the rules it was based on). Or are you using some other rule??

when written out BEDMAS and PEMDAS should be written:

PE(M or D)(A or S)
BE(D or M)(A or S)

both done left to right!!

but
PE(M or D)(A or S) = PE(MA or DA or DS) = PEMA or PEDA or PEDS which could be = PITA but is not = PETA.
