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.

Why are you putting in another division sign after the 24? That division sign was cancelled after the first application. So it should be 24X12 =X
