Example Question #22 : How To Subtract Integers
Subtract:
The ones digits cannot be subtracted unless one is borrowed from the tens digt.
This becomes:
This is the ones digit of the final answer.
The tens digit of becomes a . We also cannot subtract a with the in , which means we will need to borrow a one form the hundreds digit of , which will become .
Subtract:
This is the tens digit of the final answer.
Subtract the new hundreds digits.
This is the hundreds digit.
The answer is:
