Terry's answer is incorrect because he multiplied the wrong numbers together. He multiplied 2 times 7, when he should have multiplied 2 times 7 times 7 to get the correct answer.

The correct way to evaluate 27 is:
2 x 7 x 7 = 98

So, the correct answer is 98.

2^7 = 2^3 * 2*3 * 2 = 8*8*2 = 64* 2 = 128

I apologize for the mistake in my explanation. Let's correct it.
