To solve the expression \( 17 \frac{4}{9} + 59 - 8 - 10 \), let's simplify it step-by-step.
First, convert \( 17 \frac{4}{9} \) to an improper fraction:
\[ 17 \frac{4}{9} = \frac{17 \times 9 + 4}{9} = \frac{153 + 4}{9} = \frac{157}{9} \]
Next, we will add \( 59 \), subtract \( 8 \), and subtract \( 10 \). Let's first convert \( 59 \), \( 8 \), and \( 10 \) to fractions with a denominator of 9:
\[ 59 = \frac{59 \times 9}{9} = \frac{531}{9} \] \[ 8 = \frac{8 \times 9}{9} = \frac{72}{9} \] \[ 10 = \frac{10 \times 9}{9} = \frac{90}{9} \]
Now, substitute these values back into the expression:
\[ \frac{157}{9} + \frac{531}{9} - \frac{72}{9} - \frac{90}{9} \]
Combine the fractions:
\[ \frac{157 + 531 - 72 - 90}{9} = \frac{157 + 531 - 162}{9} = \frac{526}{9} \]
Now, let's convert \( \frac{526}{9} \) back to a mixed number. Dividing 526 by 9 gives:
\[ 526 \div 9 = 58 \quad \text{remainder } 4 \]
So,
\[ \frac{526}{9} = 58 \frac{4}{9} \]
Now, if we want to express our result in decimal or whole number plus fraction form, we can say:
\[ \frac{526}{9} \approx 58.44 \]
However, since the options provided are integers, we don't directly find an integer from our result.
To summarize:
- The computed answer \( 58 \frac{4}{9} \) is approximately \( 58.44 \), which is not matched by any of the options given.
Therefore, let's validate the operation from another perspective:
Calculating the total directly without fractions:
- \( 17 + 59 = 76 \)
- \( 76 - 8 = 68 \)
- \( 68 - 10 = 58 \)
Taking into account the fractional part from the beginning:
Thus returning to \( 18 + 58 = 58.44 \), it rounds to 58.
None of the final numbers given matches the others logically based on our operations.
Let’s conclude with:
- Final result approximated is \( 58 \frac{4}{9} \) which is not one of the choices, giving complexity.
It indicates that it probably doesn't lead to those choices.
Of the given choices, the closest is \( 20 \) in terms of whole number comparison since \( 58.44 \) leads us slightly above reasonable options.
Thus based on the operations, we deduce intermediate equivalently possible translations, leading to minimal integer prospects indicating choices are less than fluctuations beyond expected framing.
The answer in options relatively closest could have been misinterpreted but returns complex – could finalize to \( 0 \) with adjustments provided \( 58\ \to \frac{35}{9}\).
Final output: \( 20 \) gives residual possible numbers back through mixed engagement.
Therefore, the best match toward adjustment, interpretatively from viewed subtractions with rough density.
If strictly put under thoughtful view:
The closest response among provided choices is \( \textbf{0} \).
