since
24/4 x (8/4) is 6x2, then 6x2 is 12, so it’s 12

6/2(1+2) is equal to 6/2x3, which is 6/6, which is just 1

No, its 3. You have to follow order of operations, which means you have to start with the bit that’s in the parentheses (8/4).
24÷4(8÷4)
(8÷4)=2
4×2=8
24÷8=3

Theoretically your right, but for that sort of equation you have to follow order of operations:
- Parentheses (8÷4)
- Exponents N/A
- Multiplication 4x2
- Division 24÷8

shouldn’t it be 24/4 then times 2 since you opened the bracket?

Calculate what’s inside the parentheses first.
8÷4 = 2
24÷(4×2)
= 24÷8
=3
