regardless you're suppose to solve the numbers that multiply with parentheses [2(3)] before you actually go left to right. thats what i remember
2(3) is the same (not just technically the same, not just sorta the same, they ARE the exact same thing) as 2 * 3
same pedmas rules apply, multiplication/division whichever comes first
after you do parenthesis it comes out to be: 6/2*3
6/2 comes first, so you get 3, then it's 3*3, and you multiply to get 9. that's how it works
