As MoonlitSunshine has stated numerous times, we apparently need more parameters since there are opposing orders of operations at hand.

No that's not the case. Left to Right as BD brought up still applies. What I'm trying to say the way it is written on the computer in a single line is limited than how it would be written on paper.

If you looking at it as 6/2*(1+2) equals

____6____
2 * (1+2)

then you are going to run into some problem.

If you understand that when the "/" line is used, only divided the number underneath divides the number on top, in this case 6/2 means 6 divided by 2, (only 2 not the rest of the equation),
6/2 = 6÷2
