Oh, dude, when you see a negative sign in front of a number, it's like the number is wearing a little grumpy hat. So, for -17, you just say "minus seventeen" or "negative seventeen." It's not that complicated, like, chill out, it's just basic math vibes, you know?

To read the number -17, you would say "negative seventeen." The negative sign indicates that the number is less than zero, while the number 17 represents the absolute value of the quantity. This notation is commonly used in mathematics to denote a negative value.

Well, isn't that a happy little question! When you see a negative number like -17, all you have to do is remember that it means moving in the opposite direction on the number line. So, instead of counting to the right, you count to the left to find -17. Just like adding a little shadow to your painting to make the colors pop, negative numbers add depth and meaning to mathematics.
