Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Simplify the division and multiplication in the numerator

First, simplify the expression in the numerator: \[ 9 \times 3 = 27 \] So, the expression becomes: \[ \frac{54}{27} - 27 \div 3 \times 5 \]

Step 2: Simplify the fraction

Next, simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{54}{27} = 2 \] Now, the expression is: \[ 2 - 27 \div 3 \times 5 \]

Step 3: Perform the division and multiplication

Now, perform the division and multiplication from left to right: \[ 27 \div 3 = 9 \] Then: \[ 9 \times 5 = 45 \] So, the expression simplifies to: \[ 2 - 45 \]

Step 4: Perform the subtraction

Finally, perform the subtraction: \[ 2 - 45 = -43 \]
