Annoying math equation making me want to strangle FB friends

I am sure some of you have already come across this freaking equation:

6Ã·2(1+2)= ?

The way I see it, this equation is the same as 6 / 2x, x = 1 + 2.

So the answer is 1...

Is there even a right or wrong answer to this equation?

Yep.
