I say 288, although the way you have it written without the multiplication sign is ambiguous so I am not surprised people think it's 2.

larger numbers means heavier weight

Annotation means
48÷2 x (9+3) = ?

or

48÷2 x 12

or

24 x 12

or 288

It's not a math question per se - it's a question about understanding the notation

not necessary, the parentheses also means multiplication.
