Integer math seems too difficult. Let's try fractions.

6 / 2 (1 + 2) ==> firstly, there is implied multiplication between the 1/2 and the (1 + 2), not implied distribution.

= (6 / 1) * (1 / 2) * ((1 / 1) + (2 / 1))

= (6 / 1) * (1 / 2) * (1 + 2)

= (6 / 1) * (1 / 2) * 3

= 6 * (1 / 2) * 3

Take these three terms and arrange them however you please, the answer is 9.

"It is not in the denominator. If it were in the denominator the equation would be written slightly different indicating it.

''The fact remains is that the answer IS 9 and there is no doubt that it is 9. It's not even questionable whether or not it is 9. Any way you write it out as long as you adhere to the rules of Mathematics and logic, it's 9.''

PEMDAS 6/2(1+2) =6/2(3) =3(3) =9

''Multiplication first. (getting rid of the division until the end)'' 6/2(1+2) =6(1/2)(1+2) =6/2(3/1) =18/2 =9

Distributive Property. 6/2(1+2) =(6/2)*1 + (6/2)*2 =6/2 + 12/2 =18/2 =9

''Dividing First. (Multiplication at the end)'' 6/2(1+2) =6(1+2) ..2 =3(3) =9

It goes on and on and on...." - L_R_Trenchant
