The difference required is


50-(-17)

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive version of the number, so we have


50-(-17) = 50+17=67

Answer:

67

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.
