    always remember the MDAS and BODMAS rule when it comes to order of operations.

    +1, simplify first 2(9+3), before applying MDAS (multiply, divide, add, subtract), correct answer is 2.

    288 is the correct answer coz it's not 48/(2(9+3)) which would otherwise result in 2
    Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

    the thing is you *should* follow MDAS rule however, (9+3) is *not* part of the divisor since it's not (2(9+3))

    ^^ yes. and it only applies when there is no parenthesis. otherwise simplify the one inside the parenthesis first.
    but the answer is still 2.

    ^yes, there's no parenthesis therefore you should not include it in the divisor:

    48 x (9+3) = 288
    2
