Okay so, according to bodmas:

You do brackets/parentheses first, so that's = 3

Next you multiply your bracket with 2 which is = 6

And 6 ÷ 6 = 1

(sometimes calculators don't properly account for brackets or the correct bodmas, because I can see how the calculator got to 9)

I have two things to say which is that bodmas literally puts division before multiplication so you SHOULD be dividing 6 by 2 before multiplying ANYTHING. BUT ALSO

in the bodmas/pemdas/bidmas/your mom hierarchy, division and multiplication are equals, and so if you're dealing with both, you need to read left to right, it doesn't actually matter which letter technically comes first in your acronym, because the division part of the problem still comes before the multiplication if you read left to right, so you should do the division first
