Obviously you do the (3+9) first because it's in the parenthesis, giving you:
48÷2(12) which can be rewritten as 48÷2*12
Since ÷ and * are the same in order of operations, you go from left to right so 48÷2*12 = 24*12 = 288.

For all of you arguing 2 instead of 288 because of PEMDAS, keep in mind that PEMDAS implies that you perform the operations WITHIN the parenthesis before anything else. When you have something like 2(12) on the other hand, it is the equivalent of 2*12 and does not take priority over divisions or other multiplications.

Rule 1: First perform any calculations **INSIDE** parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.
Solidarity, you bring up a good point, but I'm sticking to my guns here. While 48÷2x is not 24x, 48÷2(x) is a little more ambiguous since you could argue that it is the equivalent of 48÷2*x.

PEMDAS or BEDMAS where division and multiplication share the same order (whichever comes first) and similarly addition and subtraction share the same order (last) pending on whichever comes first in the equation.
48÷2(9+3)
Step 1: (9+3) = 12 (bracket)
Step 2: 48÷2 = 24 Division comes before multiplication because it's shown earlier in the equation
Step 3: 24(12) = 288
