You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(17 - 5 + 3 - \left(21 - 17 + 13 + 6 - 15 - 3 + 7 - 10\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[17 - 5 + 3 - \left(21 - 17 + 13 + 6 - 15 - 3 + 7 - 10\right) = 13\]


\[\begin{aligned}17 - 5 + 3 - \left(21 - 17 + 13 + 6 - 15 - 3 + 7 - 10\right)& = 17 - 5 + 3 - \left(4 + 13 + 6 - 15 - 3 + 7 - 10\right)\\& = 17 - 5 + 3 - \left(17 + 6 - 15 - 3 + 7 - 10\right)\\& = 17 - 5 + 3 - \left(23 - 15 - 3 + 7 - 10\right)\\& = 17 - 5 + 3 - \left(8 - 3 + 7 - 10\right)\\& = 17 - 5 + 3 - \left(5 + 7 - 10\right)\\& = 17 - 5 + 3 - \left(12 - 10\right)\\& = 17 - 5 + 3 - 2\\& = 12 + 3 - 2\\& = 15 - 2\\& = 13\end{aligned}\]
