Step-by-step explanation:

First you do the numbers in the parentheses (1+2)=3 next you do the number outside of the parentheses 6 divided by 2 =3 so now you have 3 and 3, since you have two answers and there is no mathematic sign there to tell you what to do, you multiply. There for your answer is 9. I hope this helped and gave you a better understanding! ^-^
