This Belongs under the: Mathematics Category but, I will answer your question.
Let me break this down for you:
You would use P.E.M.D.A.S (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
You would do what's in the parenthesis first, (12-9) which equals = 3
There are no exponents in this equation, so you would do multiplication next, which is 2 x 6 which equals = 12
No division
Addition which is 3 + 12 = 15
You always multiply what is in parenthesis times what is outside parenthesis so 15 x 3 =45
Your answer is going to be *45*
Hope this helps! :)
