After parenth you are supposed to move left to right. You solved 2*3 first, but instead you should have done 6/2 first. Then you would have been left with 3(3) which is 9. [/quote] no! you dont just leave (3) if youre left with (3) or any other number you are supposed to finish it! and then do left to right [/quote] There is nothing left to do with (3) You cant just make something up.

Best of luck to all you geniuses .
