Where is everyone getting TWO equations from, it is a single line equation.
x=48 / 2 x ( 9 + 3)
By the way, the three scientific calculators, which didn't fail me in either my HSC, or two trade certificates (Lineworker and Electrician) say the answer is 2. Calculators are, Casio FX-82, Casio FX -100AU and a Sharp EL-531RH
