To solve the problem, let's perform the subtraction using the vertical method:
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given the problem:
Therefore, the result of the subtraction is .
Since the correct answer matches the choices given, the correct multiple-choice answer is Choice 2.
63
\( \begin{aligned} &105 \\ -& \\ &~~~~3 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned} \)
In subtraction, the larger number always goes on top. We're taking away 1 from 64, so 64 is the starting amount and goes on top.
That's okay! When subtracting 1 from 64, there's nothing to subtract from the 6 in the tens place, so you simply bring down the 6.
Align by place value! The 1 goes under the 4 (both in ones place), and the 6 has nothing under it. Think of it as:
Yes! For simple problems like this, mental math works great. But learning the vertical method helps you with harder subtraction problems later, especially with borrowing.
Use addition to check subtraction! Add your answer to what you subtracted: 63 + 1 = 64. Since this equals your starting number, you're correct!
