You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I can think of 2 possible interpretations for what you wrote:
Assuming you meant (54 - 48sqrt%28242%29) ÷ 42 = %2854-48sqrt%28242%29%29%2F42 ,


If it really was 54 - 48sqrt%28242%29 ÷ 42 = 54-48sqrt%28242%29%2F42


NOTES:
You can write / for ÷ and * as a multiplication sign.
You can write sqrt(242) for sqrt%28242%29.
Those symbols are easy to type and usually understood by computers and humans.
Parentheses are sometimes necessary. Thanks for the conventions/rules for order of operations we need to write a lot less of them than we would otherwise.
With pencil and paper I can write %2811-3%29%2F%286-4%29 without any parentheses and everybody understands that as
%2811-3%29%2F%286-4%29= 8 ÷ 2 = 4 because we know that the long horizontal fraction bar means that you first calculate the value of what's above the bar and the value of what's below the bar. That line is a time-saving ink-saving symbol that includes invisible parentheses.
Here I have to type (11-3)/(6-4) with two sets of parentheses.
