I literally have a masters in mathematics and the ONLY correct answer is 1. You can rewrite the equation multiple ways to clarify. In PEMDAS, "m" is before "d" for a reason, and that reason is the distributive property. You would never, NEVER divide first because it removes the distribution from the paranthetical component of the equation. As an example, solve for X and you could never initiate by dividing both sides by 4 because it is literally attached to the parenthesis.

Shut your fucking mouth.
