Remember the order of operations rule PEMDAS:
1) parentheses first
2) exponents second
3) multiplication third
4) division fourth
5) addition fifth
6) subtraction sixth

7/2(3*2)/(2/(8-6))= x solve inside parentheses first
7/2(6)/(2/2)= x multiplication next
2/2 is equal to 1
7/12= x

You cannot simplify this any lower so x= 7/12

Hope this helps! :)
