Here is the solution

The correct answer is 288. How did we end up with that number? We’ll walk you through the process.

First, we have to calculate the number inside the parentheses, 9 + 3 = 12. After that, our problem looks like this: 48 ÷ 2 (12).

Then we remove the parentheses and add a multiplication sign: 48 ÷ 2 x 12.

Then we solve the problem from left to right, which results in 288.
