6?2(1+2)=?

[Vexx]

I may as well take a serious crack at it. Been a while since I been in a math class, but here goes.

6?2(1+2) = x

6?2(3)

6?6

x = 1

That's my best guess. Unless I got the part after the paranthesis wrong, though I'm positive multiplication comes before division.

If not, then the answer would be 9. :\

Multiplication and division are at the same time, you go left to right with it.

I find it entertaining that this is such a difficult thing for people to understand.

There isn't two answers. The question isn't tricky or ambiguous.

As long as you do your order of operations it is perfectly understandable. As just about everyone is saying: the answer is nine.

As for "PEMDAS" the MD stands for "MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)" NOT multiplication THEN division.

So stop trying to use "multiplcation first" as an excuse to get the wrong answer. XD

Regardless, thanks for the fun reading this <3

Order of operations as i had been taught: BEDMAS

Bracket
Exponents
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

im coming up with 32.33 repeating of course

I don't understand why people think its 1. Follow all basic math from 2nd grade and you get 9.

6/2(1+2) = ?
6/2(3) = ?
3(3) = 9!!!!!!!!

PEMDAS

solve for parenthesis. then since there is division and multiplication left. just because the M comes before the D it is still equal. left to right the division comes first. and then you would multiply.
