When you subtract a negative number, it's the same as adding its positive counterpart. So, -10 - (-17) is the same as -10 + 17, which equals 7. However, the correct interpretation of the question as it's presented (considering the underline might indicate subtraction) is actually -10 - 17, which equals -27.
