Well, i stand by the answer 2. If the original equation was 48/2*(3+9) then sure, the answer would 288, but when we have a parenthesis that looks like 2(3+9), then the 2 is part of the parenthesis and has to be calculated with what lies inside the brackets.

2(3+9) = 2*(3+9)

It's the exact same. And in both case 2 isn't part of the parenthesis.

Ah, yes, of course that there is a multiplication sign in both situations, but tell me this then, how would you solve this then:

6x²+x / x*(4x+2x+1)

6x²+x / x(4x +2x +1)

?
