Evaluate -5(2 + 7) - |3| ÷ -3.

WE use order of operation

PEMDAS

Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication and division , Add and subtract

-5(2 + 7) - |3| ÷ -3

2+7 is 9

-5(9) - |3| ÷ -3

Now |3| is 3. absolute function always gives us positive value

-5(9) - 3 ÷ -3

Now we do the multiplication and division from left to right

-45 - 3 ÷ -3

-3 divide by -3 is 1

-45 +1 = -44

So final answer is -44
