To solve this equation, you first need to convert the mixed number 17 4/9 to an improper fraction.
17 4/9 can be written as (17*9 + 4)/9 = 157/9.
Now let's substitute everything back into the equation:
157/9 + 5/9 - 10.
To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which is already 9 in this case.
157/9 + 5/9 - 10/1 (multiply 10 by 9 to make the denominator 9)
Now we can combine the numerators:
(157 + 5 - 90)/9
Simplifying further:
(162 - 90)/9
= 72/9
= 8
Therefore, 17 4/9 + 5/9 - 10 equals 8.
