Since I've received a number of PMs objecting to performing the division first because there are some that erroneously believe that the parenthesis somehow forces precedence(voodoo mathematics) lets multiply first as it does no harm

48/2a

so now it should be even more obvious that there are 2 operations division and multiplication which are done left to right
24a
resubstitute
24(9+3)
24(12)
288
