-4-6+17-5

To solve the expression \(-4 - 6 + 17 - 5\), you can follow these steps:

1. Combine \(-4\) and \(-6\): \(-4 - 6 = -10\)

2. Now the expression is: \(-10 + 17 - 5\)

3. Combine \(-10\) and \(17\): \(-10 + 17 = 7\)

4. Now the expression is: \(7 - 5\)

5. Finally, subtract \(5\) from \(7\): \(7 - 5 = 2\)

So, \(-4 - 6 + 17 - 5 = 2\).
