Can mods please start banning people that post these?

6/2(1+2)=

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication & division, [math]\textit{left to right}[/math]
4. Addition & subtraction, left to right
[eqn]\therefore\space A \div B = \dfrac{A}{B}\implies 6\div2(1+2)=\dfrac{6}{2}\cdot3=3\cdot3=9[/eqn]

Why dont they just use an x symbol for multiply? Every one of these threads has people arguing for alternate answers based on different interpretations. Except its math, there shouldn't be multiple ways to interpret simple math problems, they should be universally understandable.

I fucked up, it's 9.

6/2(1+2)

Solving the parenthesis removes them (1+2)=3
However, since we often write multiplication a(b)
it's easy to confuse the parenthesis as still being there:
6/2(3), this will cause you to do the problem the wrong way,

6/2(3)
6/6
1
because you read the (), but you need to understand again that since we solved the value in
Parenthesis 1st.
(1+2)=3
You take the parenthesis off the 3.
So the correct way to proceed is:

6/2*3

Working not left to right.
6/2=3
3*3=9

9 is the correct answer.

>working now left to right.

Can we not have this thread every day
