CHEATER! You weren’t supposed to Google it! I came up with 1 as the answer and found out I’d be right prior to 1917. That really dates me! 
Oh, I had seen it before. I came up with 1 on that occasion. The explanation fascinated me enough that I had saved the link.
Based on how I was taught math operations and their order using PEMDAS
Parentheses (solve equations inside first)
Exponents
Multiplication / Division
Addition / Subtraction
I got the answer 1 as well
If I saved that link I would never find it again!
I get 9. What did you get?
I got one, then I googled it and got 9
I do not have to have the answers, I just need to know where to find the answers 
First thing you do is replace the missing multiplier x.
6 / 2(1 + 2) = 6 / 2 x (1 + 2), then the rest is simple arithmetic. The obvious answer is 9.
I did the same thing quickly in my head and got 1. But I think the problem is that the equation is simple arithmetic but written as an algebraic equation. I solved the parenthesis first but then proceeded to multiply 2 to the result as if I was trying to solve for x or y.
Personally, I don’t think I confused it with pre-1917 math since I went to elementary school in the seventies.
It would take too much time to write down how I solved this with today’s math. This was the easy way.
9-3/(1/3)+1=?
1 … …9-3*3+1=
I come up with 1.
I came up with 3
How did you do that?
1 divided by 3 = .333333…
9-3=6
6x.333=2
2+1=3
I don’t know if I’m right or not 
9 - (3 / .3333) + 1
9 - (9) + 1 = 1
