48÷2(9+3)

#1 the () is the priority..
#2 next would be the other equation (48/2)..
#3 the () is multiplied times the answer of #2
#4 288

Now, see the way I was taught, back in the day was

48÷2(9+3)

#1 the () is the priority..9+3=12
#2 is the implied * between 2 and (9+3) 2 = 2*12 = 24
I was taught that if there was any number next to a paran - it was implied that you would multiply that number by whatever result came from the paran equation.
#3 is the remaining divider 48/24 = 2

The answer is 2

I love FR, only here would we get into this discussion. :-)

So TI needs to recall the 85’s succesor, the 86?

BUT... once the () are calculated... you go back to left to right...

So, then you would have to finish the equation starting from the left.. get the answer.. then multiply the answer from the ()

I’ve never seen a rule that extended the parenthetical precedence outside the parenthesis.
