What the fuck......

Before anything else you get rid of the parenthesis multiplying 2 times each of the numbers inside parenthesis.

Like 2*1+2*2 which is equal to 6
Then you just divide 6/6 which equals to 1

Bedmad is the same as Pemdas...

Division doesnt go before multiplication.
Multiplication doesnt go before division.

It's done LEFT TO RIGHT when Parenthesis and exponents are completed.

6÷2(1+2) is the same as writting 6 ÷ 2 x ( 1 + 2 )
