the answer is one

if you've learned your order of operations

p - parentheses
e - exponent
m/d - multplication/division * FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IF THATS WHATS LEFT *
a/s - add/subtract

the correct answer is 9

Jesus christ you people are stupid.
Multiplication and division have no order of precedence
The question is intentionally worded to leave the answer unknown.

It could be interpreted as
__6__
2(1+2)

or

6 * (1+2)
2
