We have the expression


-99\colon3^2\cdot5

Since the division appears first, and there is no parenthesis, we need to solve the division before the product. We obtain:


-99\colon3^2\cdot5=-99\colon9\cdot5=-11\cdot5

Then, solving the product, we obtain:


-11\cdot5=-55

Therefore, the final result is -55.
