Answer:

1

Explanation:

17 + (-8) + (-8) = 17 + (-16)

= 1

If two numbers have same sign, then add and put the sign.

So, add (-8)and (-8), the result will have the sign (-). -16

If two numbers have different sign, subtract and the result will have the sign of the bigger number.

17 and (-16) have different sign and the bigger number sign is +

So, the result is 1
