 @b541bfe5 While I will admit my first instinct was 1 the fact of the matter is the statement is not ambiguous and the answer is 9. Brackets first then multiplication and division going left to right. Shorthand notation doesn’t change the rules. I use a calculator called Soulver that allows entering equations and for it `6/2(1+2)` equaled 9.
