35

Step-by-step solution

  1. Solve the expression inside the parentheses: The expression inside the parentheses is $9 \times 3$. Performing this multiplication gives us $27$.
  2. Rewrite the expression with the result from the parentheses: Now the expression becomes $10 + 27 - 2$.
  3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right: First, add $10$ and $27$, which equals $37$. Then, subtract $2$ from $37$, which equals $35$.
