To simplify the expression using the correct order of operations, we follow the acronym PEMDAS:

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

12 - 8 ÷ 4 + 3 x 2

First, we perform division:

12 - 2 + 3 x 2

Next, we perform multiplication:

12 - 2 + 6

Finally, we perform subtraction and addition:

10 + 6

The simplified expression is 16.
