You do what's in the parenthesis first and use the order of operations in this case, you'd basically do 45/3=135 then 135+8=143 then 143*7=1,001 then 1,001-175=826. So you'd do B, division, first.

Answer:

B. Division

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
175-(8+(45)/(3))*7. We are asked to determine which operation will we use first to simplify our given expression.

Using order of operations PEMDAS, we will remove parenthesis first. To remove parenthesis, we need to simplify
(45)/(3).

Therefore, we will use division first to simplify our given expression.
