    20 - 6 x (2+1) = 2

    2+1 = 3

    6 x 3 = 18

    20 - 18 = 2

    20 - 6 [2 + 1] = 2

    20 - 6 x 3 = 2

    20 - 18 = 2

    2 = 2

    I think you mean to say the phrase PEMDAS (parenthases, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction)

    20 - 6 x (2 + 1) = 2

    Put the parenthases or brackets here because:

    According to PEMDAS, now you read it as doing

    2 + 1 = 3 first,

    then 6 x 3 = 18,

    then lastly 20 - 18 = 2

    20-[6x(2+1)]=2

    you need to add the 2+1 first to equal 3

    then multiply the 3 and the 6 to equal 18

    then subtract 18 from 20 to get 2=2

    20-(6x(2+1))=2
