When simplifying equations I like to use a little strategy called pemdas to remember the order
parenthesis
equation
multiply
divide
add
subtract
(multiply/divide and addition/ subtraction depend on which one's first in the equation though but multiply/ dividing is always before adding/subtracting)
Since parenthesis is first in pemdas you need to do what's in the parenthesis first (2+54x6)
But since theres two problems in the parenthesis you need to figure out what's next in pemdas. There's no equations so it's not that. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is 54x6.
Soo the correct answer would be multiplication.
Hope this helps!! Have an amazing day!!
