So you have 2+1 inside the parentheses which is 3 6 divided by 2 outside the parentheses which is 3 Then 3 (3) which is 9 But since the calculators can't agree I don't know whats right

Instead of "what's inside the parentheses first" complete the parentheses first. (2+1) = (3)2=6 ÷ 6 = 1. It's not what's inside the parentheses first, it's work the parentheses first until they are complete/gone.
