48÷2(9+3)= spam

All other answers are incorrect. All this equation does is show a limit of simple math notation. Ultimately, equations mean something. If the meaning is ambiguous, it needs to be clarified. It's like someone saying something that sounds like "two" out loud and expecting you to know if he meant "two", "to, or "too" without any context.

This equation is broken, whoever wrote it nedds to rite gooder.

And just for fun, if you follow order of ops it's 288.

But since my keyboard doesn't have a handy ÷ key, I would write it as 48/2(9+3). But by using the slash, we all know it's just a shorthand way of writing

48
______

2(9+3)

Which I think most people would ignore order of ops between the multiplication and division and say the answer is 2.

So:
"÷" = "/"
but
48÷2(9+3) =/= 48/2(9+3)
