I'm not reading 15 pages of this...

Answer is 288.

48 (divided by) 2 (9+3)

do the parentheses first:

48 (divided by) 2 (12)

is the same as:

48 (divided by) 2 (times) 12

resolve the same-tier operations (multiplication/division) left to right:

24 (times) 12 = 288

WTF guys? This is basic stuff. No wonder the U.S. is getting its ass kicked right now if we've got 15 pages debating this.
