Answer:

-763

Step-by-step explanation:

In this expression

2 + 17 * -5 * 9

We have sum and multiplication. To answer it correctly we need to solve the multiplication first, so

2 + (17 * -5 * 9)

Since 17 * -5 = -85, we get:

2 + (-85* 9)

Then -85*9 = -765, so

2 + ( - 765)

Finally, we can make the sum or subtraction to get:

2 - 765 = -763

So, the answer is -763
