We need to remember PEMDAS.
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction
Let's look at each part of the expression to find the answer.

Parenthesis:
6÷2(1+2)
Let's solve the parenthesis.
1+2=3
The expression now looks like 6÷2×3.

Multiplication and Division:
We do multiplication and division left to right.
6÷2=3
Now multiply by 3.
3×3=9

The answer is 9.

Follow PEMDAS.

First add the numbers inside the parenthesis.

1 + 2 = 3

Next, follow the left to right rule.

6/2(3)

6/2 = 3

3 x 3 = 9

9 is your answer

hope this helps
