Math problem most people get wrong...Updated with answer
6÷2(1+2)=
So, do you know what the answer is?
I think I have seen this on here before but I will ask again.
Once there are some answers I will post the correct answer.
The answer is 9...Once you work the parenthesis, you work from left to right.
6÷2(1+2)=
6÷2(3)=
3(3)=
9

I'm terrible at Math. I know you would do the parenthesis first but after that I'm not to sure
My guess though is 9

I think it is it 9. I could be wrong though. Very rusty in this format of math.

I was not taught to prioritize multiplication by juxtaposition, so I would answer 9.
