I’m pretty sure the answer is 11... please correct me if I’m wrong (to: anyone whom’s better at math than me...)
Because if u use pemdas... then multiplication would be first in this situation... so u would multiply 2(3)=6 So now the problem is 12-6/6 so the next step in this situation is, dividing...6/6=1 so now we just do 12-1=11 so I’m very positive that the answer is 11

You would get it by:

First doing the order of operations:

6/2x3= 3x3=9

12-9=3

This is how you get 3.
