There's nothing in the help that describes this situation but a look at
the equation parser in the source would seem to agree with the described
behaviour.

In this case 48÷2(9+3) is equivalent to 48÷(2x(9+3)) i.e. the precedence
of the multiplication is raised in this situation. This is the same as
some TI calculators (TI-80/81/82/85). Later calculators changed the
order of calculation to make implicit and explicit multiplication the
same.

The choice here appears to be between explicitly mentioning this order
of evaluation in the help or change the precedence in the code.
