Solve Vertical Subtraction: 965 minus 34

$\begin{aligned} &965 \\ -& \\ &~~34 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

To solve this problem, we will perform the subtraction $965 - 34$ as follows:

• Step 1: Subtract the units place.
  We have $5 - 4 = 1$.
  Write $1$ in the units place of the result.
• Step 2: Subtract the tens place.
  We have $6 - 3 = 3$.
  Write $3$ in the tens place of the result.
• Step 3: Subtract the hundreds place.
  We have $9 - 0 = 9$ (since the hundred’s place of the subtrahend is essentially $0$ for alignment).
  Write $9$ in the hundreds place of the result.

By combining these results, we see that the subtraction $965 - 34$ yields $931$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $931$.
