6÷2(1+2) has two EXPLICIT operators, division and addition. However, IMPLIED multiplication tells us to IMPLICITLY multiply (, [2(2+1))], normally in the P step of PEMDAS.
Then in the division step, we must apply division to the (entire) implicitly connected term. We cannot apply division to the coefficient (2) and then not apply division to the factor (2+1).
