Don't forget that the 2 outside the brackets modifies what's inside the brackets. Because of the distributive principle, 6 / 2(1+2) is the same as 6 / (2+4). Although many people have gotten 9 as the answer, when correctly resolving the parentheses, you get the answer of 1.

Great post. Once thing I've learned in life is "Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs."

If your math teacher reads this he or she won't be happy!

Wrong, you first must calculate the sum that's inside the brackets.

6/2(1+2)

6/2(3)

6/2x3

3x3

9
