Respuesta :

Answer:

b. -40+(-50)+17

Explanation:

The commutative property of addition of numbers is stated below:

[tex]a+b=b+a[/tex]

From the given options, if we rewrite:

[tex]-40+\mleft(-50\mright)+17=17+(-50)-40[/tex]

It becomes easier to simplify because we evaluate the positive number first.

The correct choice is B
