fukk it...let's examine.
If you turn (1+2) into (x)
You get 6÷2(x)...which = 3(x) = 9.
However...if we phrase it as:
6
---------
2(1+2)
You get:
6
---------
2(3)
Which when I look quickly appears to be 1.
But I guess it's 9
Still amazes me how many adults are confused by PEMDAS
Multiplication and Division are arithmetically the same operation, it makes no sense to do one before the other. YvrzTrvly Is right, they hold the same weight, do them left to right
The problem is people ultimately have no context...math is not taken to high enough levels in school...
Multiplication is the inverse operation of division same way exponents are the inverse operation to logarithms.
Now imagine teachin someone natural log vs e vs log base ten...

You only do parenthesis first if there's an equation inside. If it's just a number then you an remove the parentheses. PEMDAS fukks people up

Parenthesis come first.

You just have to look at it a bit differently.
(6/2)(2+1)
