PEMDAS dictates that you work from left to right if you have to choose between M/D or A/S

You realize that this only applies to what is inside of the parentheses right? After you add 2+1, it besomes for all intents and purposes, 6/2*3. Left to right. Answer is 9

It's actually (P/E)(M/D)(A/S) but I'll blame your 4th grade teacher for not explaining it to you correctly.

Multiplication and Division have the same status in the Order of Operations.

Paranthetical, exponent, multiplication or division, addition or subtraction.

Go left to right when they are of the same status.

Ergo, 2+1=3. Then 6/2=3. Then 3*3=9. This is BASIC frickING MATH, PEOPLE.
