6÷2(1+2)= ?

The answer is 1.

AGSniper is wrong, because 2(1+2) is a single entity, as explained below ...

2(x+y) is the same as 2x +2y (no-one here can argue different), thus

2(1+2) is the same as (2x1)+(2x2) ... 2+4=6

Therefore the equation becomes 6/6 ... ie 1.

There is neither doubt nor confusion.

No there ain't two answers. I don't want to sound cocky but seriously, I learnt this when I was like 13.

Its 1. You do the brackets first. Anyone thinking its 9 has made the common mistake of just dividing first.
 
It's 1. >_<

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

How hard is this?

We've already had one of these blatant troll threads. OP should be banned.

How can you have 13 Posts, but received 61 Thanks in 43 Posts? What is right, what is wrong?
 
Your post is quite ignorant imho. There are two answers.

I'm not being ignorant. There is only one answer to this question and anyone who thinks otherwise should go back to school.
