$2-5(9-4*sqrt25)^2=-603$

Let us simplify

$2-5(9-4*sqrt25)^2" "$ the given expression

$2-5(9-4(5))^2" "$ we begin inside the grouping symbol exponentiation first

$2-5(9-20)^2" "$ we take the product of 4 and 5

$2-5(-11)^2" "$ we now have the difference between 9 and 20

$2-5(121)" "$ the square of $-11$ is 121

$2-605" "$ the product of 121 and 5 is 605

$-603" "$ final answer is the difference between 2 and 605 where 2 is the minuend and 605 the subtrahend.
