Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve
00:03 Each time subtract 2 digits, and then we'll place
00:06 Subtract ones from ones, and place in ones
00:09 Subtract tens from tens, and place in tens
00:14 6 is less than 7
00:20 Therefore we subtract 1 from thousands, and add this amount to hundreds
00:25 Meaning now instead of 6 we will have 16
00:30 Subtract the hundreds from hundreds plus the hundred
00:33 Place in hundreds
00:36 Subtract thousands from thousands, and place in thousands
00:39 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers by place value.

  • Step 2: Subtract each digit starting from the rightmost side.

  • Step 3: Perform borrowing where necessary.

Now, let's go through each step:
Step 1: Align the numbers:
86517740    \begin{array}{c} 8651 \\ -7740 ~~~\\ \hline \end{array}

Step 2: Begin with the unit place.
From the rightmost digit (units), subtract: 10=11 - 0 = 1.

Step 3: Move to the tens place. Subtract 54=15 - 4 = 1.

Step 4: Move to the hundreds place. Subtract 676 - 7. Since 6 is less than 7, we borrow 1 from the thousands place:
Change 8 (thousands) to 7, and 6 becomes 16.
Now, subtract 167=916 - 7 = 9.

Step 5: For the thousands place, after borrowing, subtract 77=07 - 7 = 0.

Putting it all together, the result of the subtraction is 911911.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 911 911 .
