Explanation:

remember the priorities of doing the calculation operations :

1. brackets

2. exponents

3. multiplications and division

4. addition and subtraction

so,

(22 + 5) / (12 - 9) × 6

(27) / (3) × 6

and to write it without any doubt :

(27 / 3) × 6

9 × 6 = 54

why is

(27 / 3) × 6

better than

(27) / (3) × 6 ?

because if you are really taking it literally, you could understand

27 / 3 × 6

as

27 / (3 × 6)

and then the result is different.

so, many greetings to your teacher ! if what your write here was really what your teacher gave you, he/she was sloppy. in real math documentation people would write that as

((22 + 5) / (12 - 9)) × 6

our leave extra space like

(22 + 5) / (12 - 9) × 6
