Examples with solutions for Vertical Subtraction: 2-digit and 1-digit numbers -regrouping of tens

Exercise #1

amp;24amp;amp;  5amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &24 \\ -& \\ &~~5 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by place value, with larger on top.
  • Step 2: Subtract the digit in the ones place.
  • Step 3: Consider if regrouping is needed for subtraction.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically like this:
240  5\begin{array}{r} 24 \\ - \phantom{0}\\ ~~5 \\ \end{array}

Step 2: Start subtraction at the units (ones) place and go from right (ones column) to left (tens column):

Subtract the ones place:
4 (top number) - 5 (bottom number) is not possible without borrowing because 4 is less than 5.

Step 3: Regroup: Borrow 1 ten from the tens place of the top number 2424:
- Turn the 2 tens into 1 ten, so it becomes 1 in the tens place, and add 10 to the ones place, turning it into 14.

Now we have:
1140   5\begin{array}{r} 1 {14} \\ - \phantom{0}\\ ~~~5 \\ \end{array}

Now subtract the ones: 145=914 - 5 = 9
Subtract the tens: 10=11 - 0 = 1 (as there are no tens in 55).
Combine them to get 19.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1919.

19

Exercise #2

amp;35amp;amp;  7amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &35 \\ -& \\ &~~7 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Write the numbers vertically with 35 on top and 7 underneath. Align them by their rightmost digits.
  • Step 2: Start subtracting the rightmost digit (units place). Subtract 7 from 5.
  • Step 3: Since 5 is smaller than 7, we need to regroup. We take 1 ten from the tens place, turning 35 into 25 and 15.
  • Step 4: Subtract 7 from 15 in the units place, which gives us 8.
  • Step 5: Move to the tens place. After regrouping, 25 has a digit of 2 in the tens place. Subtract 0 from 2, which remains 2.

The result of the subtraction is 28 28 .

Therefore, the correct answer is 28.

Exercise #3

amp;43amp;amp;  6amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &43 \\ -& \\ &~~6 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Perform vertical subtraction aligning the numbers by place value.

  • Step 2: Subtract the digits in the ones place and the tens place, borrowing if needed.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Write the numbers vertically:

amp;43amp;amp;  6 \begin{aligned} &43 \\ -& \\ &~~6 \\ \end{aligned}

Step 2: Begin subtracting from the right (ones place):

- 363 - 6 needs borrowing since 3 is less than 6.
- We borrow 1 from the tens digit, turning 3 into 13 and reducing the 4 to 3 in the tens place.

- Now, subtract: 136=713 - 6 = 7.

Move to the tens place:

- With the tens place borrowed from earlier, 30=33 - 0 = 3.

Therefore, the answer to the subtraction 43643 - 6 is 37\mathbf{37}.

Thus, the correct answer is 3737

Exercise #4

amp;55amp;amp;  8amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &55 \\ -& \\ &~~8 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll perform the subtraction 558 55 - 8 using a step-by-step process:

  • Step 1: Identify place values for subtraction. The number 55 has a 'tens' place (5) and a 'ones' place (5).
  • Step 2: Subtract the ones place. We need to subtract 8 from 5. Since 5 is smaller than 8, borrowing is necessary.
  • Step 3: Borrow from the tens place. Change 55 to 4 tens and 15 ones:
    • The tens digit is reduced by 1 (from 5 to 4).
    • Add 10 to the ones digit, changing it from 5 to 15.
  • Step 4: Subtract the ones place now: 158=715 - 8 = 7.
  • Step 5: Subtract the tens place: Now we have 4 in the tens place (after borrowing), so 40=44 - 0 = 4.

Therefore, the result of 55855 - 8 is 47\mathbf{47}.

The correct answer is 47, corresponding to choice 3.

Exercise #5

amp;67amp;amp;  9amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &67 \\ -& \\ &~~9 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this subtraction problem, we'll use the following steps:

  • Step 1: Subtract the ones place.

  • Step 2: Employ borrowing if necessary.

  • Step 3: Subtract the tens place after borrowing.

Now, let's apply these steps:

Step 1: Subtract the ones place.
In the ones place, we have 797 - 9. Since 77 is smaller than 99, we need to borrow.

Step 2: Borrow from the tens place.
Borrow 11 from the tens place, turning the 6767 into 55 tens and 1717 in the ones place. Now, perform 179=817 - 9 = 8.

Step 3: Subtract the tens place after borrowing.
Now that we've borrowed, we have 55 in the tens place. Subtract 00 (there's nothing to subtract, effectively). So, the tens remain 55.

The final result after the subtraction is:
Therefore, the answer is 5858.

Exercise #6

amp;72amp;amp;  8amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &72 \\ -& \\ &~~8 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this vertical subtraction problem, follow these steps:

Step 1: Set up the problem vertically.

Write 72 and 8 ensuring that the digits are aligned according to their place values:

72
- 8
72\underline{\phantom{72}}

Step 2: Start subtracting from the rightmost digit (ones place).

In the ones place, we have 2 (from 72) and 8 (from -8). Since 2 is less than 8, we need to regroup.

Step 3: Perform regrouping.

Take 1 ten from the tens place of 72, leaving 6 tens. Adding 10 ones to 2 makes it 12 in the ones place.

Rewritten, the problem now looks like this:

6 12
- 8
72\underline{\phantom{72}}

Step 4: Continue with subtraction in the ones place.

Subtract 8 from 12, which equals 4.

Step 5: Subtract in the tens place.

Now, move to the tens place. We have 6 tens (from the regrouped value) and since there is no tens digit to subtract, it remains 6.

Conclusion: Combine the results from each place value to find the final difference: 66 tens and 44 ones make 6464.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 64 64 .

Exercise #7

amp;88amp;amp;  9amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &88 \\ -& \\ &~~9 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll perform vertical subtraction with regrouping:

  • Step 1: Write the numbers vertically:

8888
9-9

  • Step 2: Start with the units column (rightmost). We have 898 - 9.

  • Step 3: Since you can't subtract 9 from 8 directly without going negative, we regroup. Borrow 1 from the tens place of 88.

  • Step 4: Change the tens column: 8888 becomes 77 tens and the units column becomes 1818 (since you borrowed 10).

  • Step 5: Now subtract: 189=918 - 9 = 9.

  • Step 6: Move to the tens column (now 7): Subtract 0 from 7 (since no tens are in 9): 70=77 - 0 = 7.

Therefore, the result of the subtraction is 7979.

To conclude, the solution to the subtraction problem is 7979.

Exercise #8

amp;91amp;amp;  7amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &91 \\ -& \\ &~~7 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

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 .

Exercise #9

amp;72amp;amp;  8amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &72 \\ -& \\ &~~8 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let us solve the subtraction problem 72872 - 8 step-by-step.

1. Write the numbers vertically, ensuring that the digits are aligned by place value:

  •     72
    -      8
    776\underline{\phantom{776}}

2. Subtract the digits in the units column:

  • Since 22 is smaller than 88, we need to borrow from the tens column.
  • Adjust the tens digit from 77 to 66 (because we borrow 10 from it) and make the units digit 2+10=122 + 10 = 12.

3. Now perform the subtraction for the units column:

  • Subtract 88 from 1212, which equals 44.

4. Now, focus on the tens column:

  • Subtract the adjusted tens digit, 66, from 00 (as there is no digit under it in the subtrahend), resulting in 66.

5. This gives us the final answer:

  • The result of 72872 - 8 is 64\mathbf{64}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 6464.

Exercise #10

amp;88amp;amp;  9amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &88 \\ -& \\ &~~9 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will perform vertical subtraction with regrouping:

Step 1: Set up the subtraction vertically:

88amp;   9amp;amp;  \begin{aligned} 88& \\ -~~~ 9& \\ \hline & \phantom{\ } \\ \end{aligned}

Step 2: Compare the unit places:

The units digit in 88 (8) is less than the units digit in 9 (9), necessitating regrouping.

Step 3: Regrouping:

  • Borrow 1 ten from the tens digit (8 tens becomes 7 tens).

  • Add that ten to the units digit, making it 1818 instead of 88.

Step 4: Perform the subtraction:

  • Subtract the units place: 189=918 - 9 = 9.

  • Subtract the tens place: 70=77 - 0 = 7, since the tens place in 9 is effectively 0.

Step 5: Combine the results.

The difference is 7979.

Thus, the solution to the subtraction problem is 7979.

Exercise #11

amp;76amp;amp;  8amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &76 \\ -& \\ &~~8 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the subtraction problem:

When subtracting two numbers vertically, begin with the rightmost column, which involves the ones.
Step 1: Subtract the ones place digits: 6 - 8. Since 6 is less than 8, we cannot subtract directly. Therefore, we need to borrow 1 ten (equivalent to 10 ones) from the tens place.
Step 2: After borrowing, the tens digit of 76 (7) reduces by 1, becoming 6, and the ones digit gets 10 more, making it 16.
Step 3: Now, subtract the ones place: 16 - 8 = 8.
Step 4: Then, subtract the tens place: 6 - 0 = 6. Recall that we subtracted 1 ten earlier.
Combine the two results for the final answer: 68.

Therefore, the solution to the subtraction problem is 768=68 76 - 8 = 68 .

The correct choice from the given options is 68.

Exercise #12

amp;94amp;amp;  6amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &94 \\ -& \\ &~~6 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this subtraction problem, we will use the vertical subtraction method. Here’s how to approach it step-by-step:

  • Step 1: Arrange the numbers in a column, aligning them by place value. The top number (the minuend) is 94, and the bottom number (the subtrahend) is 6.

  • Step 2: Begin subtracting from the rightmost column (the ones place). Here we have:

    4~~~~4

  6-~~6

  • Since 4 is less than 6, we need to regroup. We'll borrow 1 ten from the tens place:

    14~~~~14 (after borrowing)

  6-~~6

  • Step 3: Subtract the ones now: 14 - 6 = 8, write 8 under the ones column.

  • Step 4: Move to the tens column where we initially had 9 tens, but now it’s reduced by 1 tens due to regrouping, making it 8 tens. Thus:

    8~~~~8

  0-~~0

  • There’s nothing to subtract from 8 in the tens place, so it remains 8. Write 8 under the tens column.

  • Therefore, after performing the subtraction, the final result is 88.

Hence, the solution to the subtraction problem is 88 88 .
