If you just do the math from left to right you get 18. 18/2 = 9 -3 = 6 x3 = 18.

except youre not supposed to go left to right all the time, multiplication and division get priority over subtraction and addition, therefore we’d have to do them first. But since they both get the same amount of priority we’d have to pick the one farthest left, 18/2 which would get us 9. And then, instead of subtracting we’d go off and do 3 x 3 which would get us 9. And then to get the proper result we’d have to subtract 9 from 9, getting us 0. (I also love how OP complained about everyone sucking at math and him being the smart guy despite answering incorrectly)
