To solve this expression, we need to combine like terms.
First, let's add the whole numbers:
-8 + (-10) = -18
Next, let's add the fractions:
4/9 + 5/9 = 9/9 = 1
Finally, let's combine the whole number and the fraction:
17 + 1 = 18
Therefore, 17 4/9 + 5/9 - 8 - 10 = 18.
What is 17 4/9 + 5/9 - 8 - 10?

Joey walked east for 15 and 2/3 M from home then he walked away for 21 and 3/4 M how far was Joey from home write your answer as a mixed number only
To find how far Joey is from home, we need to subtract the distance he walked away (21 and 3/4 M) from the distance he walked east (15 and 2/3 M).
First, let's subtract the whole numbers:
21 - 15 = 6
Next, let's subtract the fractions:
3/4 - 2/3
To subtract fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator would be 12.
Converting 3/4 to have a denominator of 12:
(3/4) * (3/3) = 9/12
Converting 2/3 to have a denominator of 12:
(2/3) * (4/4) = 8/12
Now we can subtract:
9/12 - 8/12 = 1/12
Therefore, Joey is 6 and 1/12 M away from home.
