Answer:
67
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract the lowest from the highest:
50 - -17 = 50 + 17 = 67
so subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the postive of that number.
The difference required is
[tex]50-(-17)[/tex]
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive version of the number, so we have
[tex]50-(-17) = 50+17=67[/tex]
