Fill in the Blank

A veterinary clinic manager is tracking the change in customer satisfaction scores across different shifts using the formula 7(−1)+9(−3)−5(3)−2\frac{7(-1)+9(-3)}{-5(3)-2}.

Following the standard order of operations to evaluate this expression, the manager first simplifies the numerator and the denominator separately.

In the denominator, after calculating the product of -5 and 3, the manager subtracts 2.

What is the resulting simplified integer value of the denominator before the final division is performed?
