Hi can you please help me with this question. -9-17=10

You already owe your friend $7 and then borrow another $17.

What do you owe her now?

How in the world did you end up with 10?
Did you just put down a random number, hoping somebody would just give you the answer??

Typo: should say

"You already owe your friend $9 and then borrow another $17."

-9 - 17 would be the equivalent of 9 + 17 with a negative sign in front of it. therefore, the answer is not 10, but -26.

Certainly! To solve the equation -9 - 17 = 10, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Start by subtracting 17 from -9.
-9 - 17 = -26

Step 2: Next, we compare the result to the value on the right side of the equation, which is 10.

-26 is not equal to 10.

Therefore, the equation -9 - 17 = 10 is not correct.
