PEMDAS

then mulitplicationthen division
then addition and subtraction
6/2(1+2)
if it is
(6/2)(1+2) then go to AAAAAAAA

if it is 6/(2(1+2)) then go to BBBBBBBBB



AAAAAAAAAA
(6/2)(1+2)
simplify 6/2
2/6=3
also simplify 1+2
1+2=3
(3)(3)=9



BBBBBBBB
6/(2(1+2))
simplify inner parthenasees first
1+2=3
6/(2(3))
