WOW! Do they not even teach maths in American schools..?

Uh, yes? The correct answer to that calculation is not determined, so both answers are actually right since it can be any of them :P

Actually, according to order of operations, the answer is 9.

The order of operations also says that you should calculate parentheses (which the number 2 in this case is part of through multiplication) before divisions.
