To solve this problem, you have to use

P

E

M

D

A

S

Which states the order in which you solve the equation.

P (parentheses)

E (exponents)

M (multiplication)

D (division)

A (addition)

S (subtraction)

So first, multiply 3 and 6. Because there are no parentheses or exponents, you skip to multiplying. You should get 18.

Second, you need to divide 6 from 12. You should get 2.

The last thing you need to do is subtract 2 from 18 and you should get 16 for your final answer.
