Ohhh well you should've put ()s around the first numbers to make it more clear.. like this:
(6÷2)(1+2)=9

Cuz if you write it this way:
6÷2(1+2)
Then the answer would be 1, because you do:
6÷2(1+2)
6÷2(3)
6÷6
1

you do brackets first:S
Sent by Jennifer101,Apr 29, 2011
It actually is still 9 Etienne, because when you have both multiplication and division you go from left to right.

Answer is 9.

Ohh well in school I learned to do the brackets first, and then go left to right :S lol
Sent by Etienne,Apr 29, 2011
Yeah but you only do what's inside the bracket, don't distribute too early :)

I did Algebra and Trigonometry in Year 12 and I can 100% agree with Lulu she is right!

ITs BOMDAS, do your brackets first which is 3, then 6 divided by 2 is 3 then multiply the two numbers together as when a number is next to a bracket you multiply!! Back of the class Etienne :P
Sent by sakwilla,Apr 29, 2011
but i thought the bracket was multiplying with the 2 before you touched the 6
Sent by Etienne,Apr 29, 2011
You only do the terms that are inside the bracket. Don't multiply something that's outside of the parentheses until you've done whatever multiplication and division is to the left of it.
