00:03 Each time subtract 2 digits, and then place
00:06 1 less than 7
00:09 Therefore subtract 1 from the tens, and add this amount to the ones
00:14 In other words, now instead of 1 we will have 11
00:17 Subtract the ones from the ones plus ten
00:22 Place in ones
00:25 Place 0 in the missing digits
00:28 Subtract tens from tens, and place in tens
00:32 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the subtraction problem 917 91 - 7 , we'll align the numbers vertically and perform the operation step by step.

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically:

amp;91amp;amp;  7 \begin{aligned} &91 \\ -& \\ &~~7 \\ \end{aligned}

Step 2: Subtract the units:

The units digits are 11 from 9191 and 77. Notice that 11 is less than 77, so we need to borrow from the tens digit of 9191.

- Regroup the tens and units: Borrow 11 ten from the tens place 99:
9191 becomes 88 in the tens place and 1111 in the units place, represented as:

8 11amp;    7 amp; \begin{aligned} 8~11& \\ -~~~~ 7~& \end{aligned}

Step 3: Perform the final subtraction:

- Subtract the units: 117=411 - 7 = 4.

- The tens remain 88, so the resulting number is 8484.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 84 84 .
