viral math question

the way the question has been worded is wrong
It’s 6 over 2 Americans messing it up as usual

6/2(1+2) = k
6 = k*(2(1+2)) = k*(6)
therefore k = 1

The other solution mentioned might be 9:
if k = 9
9 = 6/2(1+2)
9*6 = 6
which is a contradiction.

Correct syntax is 6÷(2(1+2) = 1

so I was right all along. The original was a trick questions.
