    1) Perform the operations inside a parenthesis first
    2) Then exponents
    3) Then multiplication and division, from left to right
    4) Then addition and subtraction, from left to right
    from (you need an account to see links)

    You feel inclined to do 2(9+3) first but its actually 48/2 first.
    Nobody uses the division sign anyways, most people just use / lol

    xD I think that if i would have used the / instead of the division I would have realized. Lol
    Tricky problem.

    Weeeeell, technically you do the (9+3) first and then 48/2 but I don't suppose that matters too much

    I was taught BEDMAS in elementary school and it "must occur in a left to right order". I use calculators now and according to my calculator it says 288 so I will go with that until someone asks their calc prof and he or she says otherwise lol.
