48?(9+3) = ?what answer did u get? curious to see how people would work this here!Everyone knows the answer is 42.Because that's the answer to everything.how on earth did you get 36??2 or 288Oh please..parenthese always first (12) * 2 = 24. Then use figure on otherside of the operand (48.) Answer is 2.Now anyone up for solving an econometric model using autoregressive conditional hetero skedacity??orders of operation rules : do whats IN the parentheses first, the 2 isn't in the parenthese hence it is a multiplication 2(12), it isn't (2*12)There are some simple equations that give erroneous results but they are implemented correctly.Apparently this is one of them. Lool.Greetings.Quote:Originally Posted by Gir633Everyone knows the answer is 42.Because that's the answer to everything.damn and all that time and effort that was wasted on deep thought, we only had to ask Gir633,2(9+3)= 2(12) = 2448/24 = 2 (I don't have a division symbol on my keypad).Quote:Originally Posted by porkar2(9+3)= 2(12) = 2448/24 = 2 (I don't have a division symbol on my keypad).next to the = you have a - and also on the number keypad you have a - on top of the + sign
