17 - 8 = 9
"Make a 10" has nothing to do with the solution. It seems your
daughter is being polluted with Common Core. I have seen some
of the stupid things that are foisted on unsuspecting students
who have absolutely no basic math skills. They are ordered to
make up ridiculous, extraneous steps that they can't possibly
understand, to solve a simple problem such as the one above. Do
your daughter a favor. Get her out of public school, FAST!

I cannot figure out my daughters 1st grade homework from a new program they have go math.
