The ones column requires borrowing since . Borrow from the tens.
The tens column is 0, so we need to borrow from the hundreds. The hundreds column is also 0, so we move to the thousands. The thousands column has 2, which becomes 1, and the hundreds column becomes 10, and then the tens column becomes 9. The ones column becomes 11.
Now subtract: Ones column:
Step 3: Move to the tens place: Subtract
Step 4: Move to the hundreds place: Subtract after borrowing.
Step 5: Move to the thousands place: Subtract
Step 6: Finally, in the ten-thousands: Note that merely moves down as there’s no digit to deduct.
Putting it all together:
Therefore, the final solution to the problem is .
