    There is only one correct simplification for this problem. It's also comfortable to just add all of the numbers together. That doesn't make it correct.

  • That doesn't make sense. Math is about set answers. Which if they are equal then it would be 9 because division is first one seen.

  • Yes but you also seem to forget the use of parenthesis or brackets(for BODMAS) anything that is in a parenthesis must be solved first. Which gives a 3 yet 2 can be divided by 6 or multiplied by 3. It can be solved so ways (6/2)(1+2)which is 9 or 6/(2(1+3)) which gives 1. it has two answers which is and ambiguous problem which gives you two answers which are the same depending on how you see it

  • If you solve it to BODMAS or PEMDAS, you get 6÷2 (2+1) 6÷2 (3) 3 (3) 9
