(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the expression \(2 - |1/3 \cdot -9| - 5\), we will follow these steps:

1. Calculate the multiplication inside the absolute value:
   \[ \frac{1}{3} \cdot -9 = -3 \]

2. Find the absolute value:
   \[ |-3| = 3 \]

3. Substitute this back into the original expression:
   \[ 2 - 3 - 5 \]

4. Now we can simplify this step-by-step:
   \[ 2 - 3 = -1 \]
   \[ -1 - 5 = -6 \]

So, the final answer is:
\[ \boxed{-6} \]
