There is a convention that says you do implicit multiplication before division. Based on that convention, you get:
48÷2(9+3) = n
48÷2(12) = n
48÷24 = n
n = 2
Also, you word problem doesn't match your results.
"Question - What number do you end up with when you divide 48 by twice the sum of 9+3? Express this question in the form of an algebraic equation and show each step of your work."
That would be written out as follows:
48 / (2 x (9 + 3)) = n
