6÷2(1+2)=x

Perform the calculation inside the parentheses first.
6÷2(3)=x or
6÷(2x3)=x
The multiplication will be done first, since it's presented as a single entry and not a calculation.
6÷6=x
1=x

x=9.
I was always taught at school (looong time ago) to keep the calculation in the brackets separate from the calculation outside the brackets. Something like that.
6÷2(1+2)
= 6÷2(3)
= 3x3
= 9

Nope.
6÷2(1+2)=x
the only part between parentheses is (1+2). 2x(1+2) is not between parentheses.
So:
6÷2(1+2)=x
6÷2x3=x
3x3=9
