You tell us if it makes a difference.
3+12/3 = 3 + 4 = 7
(3+12)/3 = 15/3 = 5
Your original problem statement may not have had any parentheses, but I susptect stongly that there were grouping symbols, such as a giant division sign. It doesn't always look the same when you write it "in line". You have to make it say what you want.
