To solve the expression \(3^2 \times 3 - 5^2\), we will follow the order of operations.

1. Calculate \(3^2\):
\[
3^2 = 9
\]

2. Calculate \(5^2\):
\[
5^2 = 25
\]

3. Substitute these values into the expression:
\[
9 \times 3 - 25
\]

4. Multiply \(9\) by \(3\):
\[
9 \times 3 = 27
\]

5. Now, substitute back:
\[
27 - 25
\]

6. Finally, perform the subtraction:
\[
27 - 25 = 2
\]

Thus, the value of the expression is \(2\).
