Answer:

<h2>Multiplication.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$5+(9x-3) \div 2$

For $x=5$ , we have

$5+(9(5)-3) \div 2$

Notice that the first operation we need to do is multiplication, because that's the right order of operations when we solve these kind of expressions.

$5+(45-3) \div 2$

Then, we subtract

$5+42 \div 2$

Now, we divide

$5+21$

Finally, we sum

$26$

Therefore, the right answer is multiplication.
