Why the question mark?

Why not solve for "X"?

48÷2(12) = X

Doing the division first by canceling the 2 with the 48.

24÷1(12) = X

2 = X

Like I said, I'll go along with the 288 with the understanding that in school this would have been an extra credit question as the format is poor and would not be tolerated as an answer or sample problem by an author of text books.
