No... When you have division you can't change what's first and what's second because for example 2/3 isn't equal to 3/2.
But 2*3 equals 3*2.
When you have things with the same priority, you are doing equation from left to right.

You see, while you do everything inside brackets first, after youvarr done you have no bracket(s) left. After this youvfollow really basic rules of math. Left to right, multiplication and division; before addition and subtraction

well lets see.
theres this little thing i learned in school called PEMDAS
Parenthesis, Exponential, Multiply, Divide, Addition Subtraction. this is the order in which you solve a mathemetical equation.

so first we will tackle (1+2). this equals 3.
now we are going to multiply 3 by 2 which equals 6. finally we divide 6 by 6 and get the answer, which is 1.

I was taught in school that once you do parenthesis, you do multiplication and division FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, with no preference to either. Same with addition and subtraction.

Now I'm seeing people say there is a order for all of them, left to right be damned.

Did they change it? I graduated 2001. They do this shit all the time and it would explain why so many people have different answers.

Yeah, but it's counter to bedmas. And it's also, in a sense, an extra step. Now you are doing two multiplications and one addition. Whereas if you follow bedmas, there is one addition and one multiplication. You're weird.

from /sci/ here. degree in math.
In traditional group theoretic fasion:
a / b = a * (b^(-1)) is the definition of division. (Source: Algebra by Micheal Artin.)
ab = a * b by definition. (Source, same book.)
Subbing this in:
6 * (2^(-1)) * (1 + 2) = 6 * 0.5 * 3 = 9

The calculator says this because it must obey associativity. Chapter 2 of the book I mention above goes extremely in dept on this.
