288. The reason is order of operations

no i did the parens first and then, from left to right, division and then multiplication
|
brackets (parentheses to yanks) first: 9+3 = 12.
brackets are mutiplied by 2 = 24 ....... |
logically, how can 48 divided by anything be 288? I still say 2
|
the multiplication by 2 is part of the brackets phrase. Otherwise it would be written 48 / 2 * (9+3)
|
it is written that way.
brackets first 9+3 = 12 then division 48/2 = 24 then multiplication 24 * 12 = 288 |
I do not see any brackets.
