145246, But here is the thing...

If you work this problem and replace 2 with X and solve for x... the answer is 2... 288 can't work.... This shit is good, lol. When you use X it forces you to solve the problem by converting to problem from 48÷x(9+3)=2 to 48÷12X=2 to 48/12X to 4/x=2 which makes X=2...

Most of the people getting 2 are using incorrect work. What I showed just now is the ONLY correct way to get 2. Most people are going 48÷2(9+3) to 48÷2(12) to 48÷24 to 2 which that work is wrong although the answer is right.
