Explanation:

There are two terms. Each term must simplify to a final answer which will be added or subtracted in the LAST line.

color(blue)(9)color(red)(+6div3xx6)

Multiplication and division are equally strong and can be done in any order.

color(blue)(9)color(red)(+(6xx6)/3

color(blue)(9)color(red)(+12
