Here are the basic steps to follow to simplify an algebraic expression:
remove parentheses by multiplying factors.
use exponent rules to remove parentheses in terms with exponents.
combine like terms by adding coefficients.
combine the constants.

I assume you mean (12/3 * 2) = (4 * 2) = 8

This is your start. Work it from there.
Here's where PEMDAS is needed to determine what order of operations is necessary.
