Answer: -54+17 is less

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true because a positive number + a negative number is like subtracting a number. 35+(-61) or 35-61= -26 and -54+17=-37.

ok, let's go
-54 + 17 = [original]
17-54 = [move numbers to make easier to read]
17-54 = -37 [simplify]

35 + (-61) = [original]
35 - 61 = [adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive]
35 - 61 = -26 [simplify

-37 is smaller than -26

ANSWER
-54 + 17 is less
