92

Explanation:

First, notice that 9=3, since 32=9.

So, the expression more simply becomes:

3×32

Recall that 32 is just a multiplication problem between 3 and 2, that is, 32=3×2.

Hence the expression can be written as

3×3×2

We can simplify 3×3=9. We cannot do anything with the 2, so our final answer is
