\text{Hey there!}


\text{Keep this in mind:}


\text{-  and - = +}\\\text{- and + = -}\\\text{+ and + = +}\\\text{+ and - = -}


\text{Now, that we know that.. we know our answer will be a negative.}


\bf{-17 + 18-12}


\bf{-17 +18 =1}


\bf{1 - 12 = answer.}


\bf{1 - 12 = -11}


\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer: -11}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
