It is alone. It's a 6 which you divide either by 2 or by the result of 2(1+2) depending on order of operations. All you're saying is "divide first and then you get 9" which I already said.
But those mean the same thing. The problem is six divided by two times three. The problem is that regardless of what symbols you use to represent it. The only question is whether you treat it as (six divided by two) times three or as six divided by (two times three) which is purely a question of order of operation.
