I got help from brainly so here is the answer and steps to solve it!
We use PEMDAS to solve this,

so P stands for parentheses, so that's where we start.

We first, square the innermost parentheses with the exponent which is the E in PEMDAS, then then the outer parentheses

-12/3*(-8+16-6)+2

-12/3*(2)+2

Now we divide as in Division in PEMDAS.

-4*2+2

Now we multiply as in Multiplication in PEMDAS.

-8+2

Now we add as in A for Addition

-6
doesn't multiplication come before division hence the name pemdas
