Answer:

B. Multiply the binomial by 3.

Explanation:

We have been given an expression:
11x-2-3(1-7x)^2/(x+1) . We are asked to determine the first step in simplifying the expression.

Since we know that the order of operations is also known as PEMDAS, where,

P= Parenthesis,

E= Exponents,

M= Multiplication,

D = Division,

A =Addition,

S = Subtraction.

According the order of operations we will distribute 3 to binomial or multiply the binomial by 3. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
