How could you do that?

288

(9 + 3) first. This equals 12.

48/2(12) or 48/2 * 12

And now you do it in order.

48/2 = 24, 24 * 12 = 288.

288.

what the forget

according to the order of operations, you do the problem in the parenthesis first. 9+3 = 12, then 48/2 is 24, plus 12 is 36

288

How? Even if you ignore PEMDAS you get 219.
