the equation is not supposed to be seperated where you want to seperate it, if it would then the parentheses would be there to begin with



the problem is that you placed the parentheses wrong -.-



fuck me, im gonna brush my teeth now, press F5, leave a last reply and then sleep for real



funny that you are part of them

It is read as 6/2. Just do the order of fucking operations:

PEMDAS

Solve for the parentheses. (1+2) = 3. Right? "Yes."
Solve for the exponents. No exponents, so no solving to be done. Right? "Yes."
Solve for the multiplication or division, going from left to right. 6÷2*3 = 9. Right? "I DON'T FUCKING KNOW HELP!!"


pretty much

The left to right is not true... Am I wrong? Multiplication should be done before division, therefore one cannot solve this from left to right until it is done with PEMDAS.

You, too, are changing the original equation to something it is not. Of course what you wrote = 9, but that is not the original equation.
What you wrote is the same as (6/2)(1+2)=9.

Multiplication nor division get preference

That is why it can be written as

BEDMAS
BEMDSA
PEMDAS
PEDMSA

terms inside parenthesis
exponents and roots
multiplication and division <-- same level
addition and subtraction <-- same level
