But there IS NO PARENTHESIS
There is also no multiplication operator (*) between the 2 and the 9+3. So what we are looking at is a factor, not a multiplication operation x(y+z) is the same as (xy+xz) where x*(y+z) would fall to order of operations as a multiplication operation.

Huh? no operator? The ( ) IS the operator.

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
