Answer:

-48

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply or Divide, Add or Subtract) to solve.


3^3-15*5

Since there is no parentheses, solve the exponent first.


3^3 is the same thing as
3*3*3 which is equal to 27.

The equation now looks like this


27-15*5

Next multiply and/or divide (in this case we only need to multiply).


27-75

Now add and/or subtract.

In this problem we only need to subtract.

27-75=-48
