$280$

Work Step by Step

Using order of operations, the given expression, $(10\cdot8-9\cdot7)^2-54\div9-3,$ simplifies to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} & (80-63)^2-6-3 \\&= 17^2-6-3 \\&= 289-6-3 \\&= 283-3 \\&= 280 .\end{align*} Hence, the expression $(10\cdot8-9\cdot7)^2-54\div9-3$ simplifies to $280$.
