It's still 9.

Multiplication and Division have equal priority. So left to right. A number outside a parentheses is treated as multiplication. These are the rules forever.

You do the parentheses first, to get 6 2*(3).

62 = 3, so you get

3*(3)

This equals 9.

Remember in the movie Gifted when the little girl says she can't solve the professor's math problem, and they leave with the grandmother all disappointed?

Then the girl says, "It has a mistake in it." She couldn't solve it because the problem was written incorreclty in the first place.

That's kind of like this problem. No mathematician ever would write it that way--and for good reason.

No, the equation in the topic title has a division sign so it reads as a single line. You posted a fraction which separates the equation. You think you're clever, but you're not

It would also look something like what TC posted. Again, these are literally left ambiguous just so internet nerds can argue over silly little things. Its literally the sole reason for it being posted. There isnt a right or wrong answer because its up to the reader to interpret it and because its ambiguous, you get two conflicting answers.

Do you know that one classic picture that can either be a duck or a rabbit depending on how you look at it? This is the mathematical equivalent of that.

The order of operations isn't 'ambiguous' or 'open to interpretation.'

The answer is 9.

Adorable.

You are correct that it would normally not be written like that.

However, IF written like that, there is only one way to interpret it. Interpreting it any other way is incorrect.

People from the old universe have learned that 62(1+2) is solved as 6/(2(1+2)) while people from the new universe have learned that it is solved as (6/2)(1+2).
