We are required to evaluate the expression:
[tex](9^2-15\times2)\div17[/tex]First, we evaluate the power (exponent).
[tex]\begin{gathered} 9^2=81 \\ \text{Therefore, we have:} \\ (9^2-15\times2)\div17=(81-15\times2)\div17 \\ \text{Next, we evaluate the multiplication (}15\times2) \\ =(81-30)\div17 \\ =51\div17 \\ =3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
