PEMDAS:

-4%281%2B5%29%5E2%2F%286%952%29Your big dot will not render. Use an asterisk.

-4%281%2B5%29%5E2%2F%286%2A2%29
-4%286%29%5E2%2F12
-4%2A36%2F12
-%284%2A2%2A2%2A3%2A3%29%2F%282%2A2%2A3%29----doing this just to see what to cancel
highlight%28-12%29

It could have been cut to one fewer steps. Reduction could be done at the second step.
