Answer:

-23

Explanation:

By substituting the given numeric values for x,y and z into the expression.

That is

(3)3−2(5)2−3(3)3+(−3)4

------------------------------------------------

I'll evaluate each term separately.

(3)3=3×3×3=9×3=27

2(5)2=2×(5×5)=2×25=50

3(3)3=3×(3×3×3)=3×27=81

(−3)4=[(−3)×(−3)]×[(−3)×(−3)]=9×9=81

-------------------------------------------------

Replace these values back into the expression , noting the values which are subtracted.

⇒27−50−81+81=27−50=−23
