-8

Answer 2

Let's solve the expression step by step:

1. Start with the multiplication: 2 * (-7) = -14.

2. Next, solve the parentheses: (17 - 23) = -6.

3. Now, substitute the results back into the expression: -14 - (-6).

4. To subtract a negative number, you can add its positive counterpart: -14 + 6 = -8.

So, 2 * (-7) - (17 - 23) equals -8.
