The problem shown in the image is:

\[
-\frac{3}{34} - \left( -\frac{2}{17} \right)
\]

To solve this, let's break it down:

1. First, notice the double negative inside the parentheses. When subtracting a negative number, it becomes addition. So the expression becomes:
\[
-\frac{3}{34} + \frac{2}{17}
\]

2. To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 34 and 17 is 34.

3. We can rewrite \(\frac{2}{17}\) with a denominator of 34 by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
\[
\frac{2}{17} = \frac{4}{34}
\]

4. Now we can rewrite the expression:
\[
-\frac{3}{34} + \frac{4}{34}
\]

5. Since the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators:
\[
\frac{-3 + 4}{34} = \frac{1}{34}
\]

Thus, the result of the subtraction is:
\[
\frac{1}{34}
\]
