You do the () calculation first, then what's its next to, then what ever is left over.
48 / 2(9+3)= 48 / 2(12)= 48 / 24= 10 x (8 / 2) = 10 x (4) = 10 x 4 = <---You dont really need to show this step but I had anal teachers 40 |

48/2(9+3)
24(12) 288 left to right 2(12) is the same as 2 * 12 and multiplication and division are done at the same time so it goes left to right 48/2*12 24*12 288 Order of operations

Technically, you wrote an equation in bad form.

Well of course, there should be more brackets to make sense of the equation
