J_Copeland Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I think it's 288 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 48/2*(9+3)=X solve for X48/2=X/(9+3)48/2=X/12 Cross multiply:576=2X576/2=X288=XFinally, someone sees my point... the * is not there!!! If it were, then the above logic would be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Finally, someone sees my point... the * is not there!!! If it were, then the above logic would be correct.5(x+1)=6How do you solve that MJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfrbill Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 You guys saying 288 is right keep doing your math your way. I'll keep doing it the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolWhip Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 You guys saying 288 is right keep doing your math your way. I'll keep doing it the right way.See my sig line. That is from Casper in this thread. The answer is 288. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05candygrand Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Finally, someone sees my point... the * is not there!!! If it were, then the above logic would be correct.PEMDASyou must work left to right once the parenthesis are equated.48/2 and THEN 24*12 [or (48/2)*12]NOT2*12 THEN 48/24 [or 48/(2*12)](Which is right to left)Either way you look at it there IS a * after the 2!

vfrbill Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Every trig equation I have ever done has been solved using same method as I used to come up with 2. And guess wat my angles are ALWAYS RIGHT. And I've got 25 years machining experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see any COS, CSC, TAN etc. involved here.Straight PEMDAS and left-to-right. Plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Holy fuck still going!. 288 is the correct answer. 48/2(9+3) 48/2(12)24(12)288At no point is there an exponent. If there was it would be an entirely different answer. 12 to the second power is 144. 2 to the 12th I cannot do in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guess wat my angles are ALWAYS RIGHT. And I've got 25 years machining experience The order of operations do not change between trigonometry, calculus, algebra, geometry, machining, engineering, computer science, etc. It's the basic foundation of mathematics. The P means do things in parentheses first. Not things multiplied by things in parentheses.P (parentheses) = (9+3)=12E (exponents) = no exponentsM/D (multiplication and division, left to right) = 48/2=24 then 24(12)= 288A/S (addition and subtraction, left to right) = no addition or subtractionP = INSIDE the parentheses. 48÷2(9+3)=48÷2(12)=24(12)=288Proof:Replace a number with a variable. I choose to replace 3 with x.48÷2(9+x)=28824(9+x)=288216+24x=28824x=72x=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
