    "6/2(2+1)" is the same as "6 ÷2 × (2+1)", would you agree? And by the same mechanism for ×÷ as you used for +- in turning "6-2+2" into "6+(-2)+2" that would become "6× 1/2 × (2+1)", yes? What you are trying to do is turn "6 ÷2 × (2+1)" into "6× 1/(2 × (2+1))", which is fundamentally and logicly identical to turning "6-2+2" into "6+(-2+2)". If you are not willing to assert that "6-2+2" is equivalent to "6+(-2+2)", why are you so adamant that "6/2(2+1)" is equivalent to "6/(2(2+1))"?
    I, uh— :facepalm: Just realized that "6-2+2" is, in fact, equivalent to "6+(-2+2)", but for fundamentally different reasons. Allow me to modify the above passage into some semblance of relevance.

What you are trying to do is turn "6 ÷2 × (2+1)" into "6× 1/(2 × (2+1))", which is fundamentally and logicly identical to turning "6-2+2" into "6 + -(2+2)". If you are not willing to assert that "6-2+2" is equivalent to "6 + -(2+2)", why are you so adamant that "6/2(2+1)" is equivalent to "6/(2(2+1))"?

    6divided2(2+1) =6*.5(2+1) I agree the answer is 9. I was just arguing to argue. Didn't mean to get everyone so pist. I figured it was dead by now.
