To simplify the expression 10 - 3^2 / (1/5)^2, first evaluate the exponent 3^2 which equals 9. Then calculate (1/5)^2 which equals 1/25.

Now, substitute the calculated values back into the expression:
10 - 9 / (1/25).

Next, perform the division:
10 - 9 * 25.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction:
10 - 225.

Finally, subtract the value:
-215.

Therefore, the simplified expression is -215.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's simplify the expression correctly.

The expression 10 - 3^2 / (1/5)^2 can be simplified as follows:

10 - 9 / (1/5)^2

10 - 9 / (1/25)

10 - 9 * 25

10 - 225

-215

Therefore, the correct simplified expression is -215.
