6÷2(1+2)=

clearly the answer is 6.

6/2 = 3.

3x1 = 3
3x2 = 6.

497,833 people must have failed elementary school math.

It's 9, end of discussion -_-

/e:

You, sir, are incorrect. You are right that you do the parentheses first though

6 / 2 (1 + 2)

6 / 2 (3)
which is the same as
6 / 2 * 3
3 * 3
9

And there's the correct way to do it.
