Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 17 - (-18) \), we need to remember that subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding the positive version of that number.

So, we have:

\[
17 - (-18) = 17 + 18
\]

Now, we can perform the addition:

\[
17 + 18 = 35
\]

Therefore, the answer is \( 35 \).
