i need help solving this problem

Is it

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{48}{2(9+3)}\)

or

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{48}{2}(9+3)\)

For either of those problems - you'll need to follow PEMDAS

Then you will need to tell us what the problem really is. What you have written is ambiguous. Is it 48/[2(9+3)] or (48/2)(9+ 3)?
perhaps in your textbook it appears as \(\displaystyle \frac{48}{2(9+3)}\) (the first above) or \(\displaystyle \frac{48}{2}(9+3)\) (the second).

Can you do 48/2? What about 9+ 3? Now you want to either divide or multiply those two numbers depending on which of the two possible interpretations of what you wrote is correct.
