@Scott wow i got something totally different i got 1.5

@Scott
To solve the expression 9 x 3 - 9 x 20 / -5, we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. This stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
First, let's perform the multiplication:
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 20 = 180
Now, let's divide 180 by -5:
180 / -5 = -36
Finally, subtract the result of the division from the result of the multiplication:
27 - (-36) = 27 + 36 = 63
Therefore, 9 x 3 - 9 x 20 / -5 equals 63.
