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

Exercise #1

amp;33amp;amp;15amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &33 \\ -& \\ &15 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Write the numbers 33 and 15 vertically, aligning by the rightmost digits.
  • Subtract the digit in the units place, which is 3 (from 33) minus 5 (from 15). Since 3 is less than 5, we need to borrow 1 ten from the tens place.
  • After borrowing, the units digit becomes 13 (instead of 3).
  • Now, perform the subtraction: 13 - 5 equals 8.
  • Proceed to the tens place: We borrowed 1, leaving 2 in the tens column of 33.
  • Subtract the tens: 2 - 1 equals 1.

The final answer, after borrowing and executing the subtraction, is (3315)(33 - 15) which equals 1818.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 18 18 .

Exercise #2

amp;47amp;amp;29amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &47 \\ -& \\ &29 \\ &\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, ensuring the ones and tens digits are in the correct columns.
  • Step 2: Subtract starting from the ones place, and if needed, borrow from the tens place.
  • Step 3: Subtract the tens place.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Write the numbers vertically:
4729\begin{array}{c} 47 \\ - 29 \\ \end{array}

Step 2: Start with the ones place: Subtract 9 from 7. Since 7 is less than 9, we will borrow 1 from the tens column, making 7 become 17 in the ones place and reducing the 4 in the tens place to 3:

- Subtract 17 - 9 = 8

Step 3: Now, move to the tens place. Since we borrowed 1, adjust the tens place. Subtract 2 from 3:
- Subtract 3 - 2 = 1

So, writing the subtraction in full gives us:

472918\begin{array}{c} 47 \\ - 29 \\ \hline 18 \\ \end{array}

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 18.

Exercise #3

amp;53amp;amp;36amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &53 \\ -& \\ &36\\ &\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 by their place values, so the digits in the same position are directly on top of each other.

  • Step 2: Subtract the digits in the ones place and perform borrowing if necessary.

  • Step 3: Subtract the digits in the tens place after performing any borrowing from the previous step.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically:

amp;53amp;36 \begin{aligned} & 53 \\ - & 36 \\ \end{aligned}

Step 2: Starting with the ones place, we see that 3 (in the minuend) is less than 6 (in the subtrahend). So we need to borrow.

  • Borrow 1 from the tens place of 53, giving the tens place a value of 4. The borrowed number converts the ones place's 3 into 13.

Now subtract: 136=713 - 6 = 7.

The new arrangement looks like this:

5amp;4  13   amp;3    6123amp;12345 \begin{aligned} \cancel{5}&4 ~~13 \\ -~~~&3~~~~6 \\ \overline{\phantom{123}}& \overline{\phantom{12345}} \\ \end{aligned}

Step 3: Move to the tens place. After borrowing, the new value is 4.

Subtract: 43=14 - 3 = 1.

Thus, the final result is:

amp;53amp;36amp;17 \begin{aligned} & 53 \\ - & 36 \\ & \underline{17} \\ \end{aligned}

Therefore, the result of the subtraction 533653 - 36 is 17\boxed{17}.

Exercise #4

amp;62amp;amp;37amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &62 \\ -& \\ &37 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this subtraction problem, we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Set up the subtraction vertically.

  • Step 2: Subtract the numbers in the ones column.

  • Step 3: If needed, borrow from the tens column.

  • Step 4: Subtract the numbers in the tens column.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Set up the subtraction vertically:
    6262
-
    3737
64562 \underline{\phantom{64562}}

Step 2: Subtract the numbers in the ones column.
We have 22 in the ones position on the top number and 77 on the bottom number. Since 22 is less than 77, we need to borrow 1 from the tens place of the top number.

After borrowing, the 66 in the tens place becomes 55, and we add 1010 to the ones place, transforming 22 into 1212. Now, subtract 77 from 1212:
 12 12
7-7
   5\underline{5}

Step 3: Subtract the tens column. Now, after borrowing, we have 55 (since 61=56 - 1 = 5) in the tens position, minus 33 from the tens place of the bottom number:
    5 5
3-3
    2\underline{2}

Step 4: The final result is obtained by putting together these results. The subtraction yields:
    2525

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 25 \textbf{25} .

Exercise #5

amp;76amp;amp;57amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &76 \\ -& \\ &57 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this vertical subtraction problem 765776 - 57, let's go through the steps:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers by place value.
    The problem is set up vertically as follows: 7657 \begin{aligned} & 76 \\ - & 57 \\ \end{aligned}
  • Step 2: Start with the units digit.
    From the 6 in the units place of 76, subtract the 7 in the units place of 57:
    Since 6 is less than 7, we need to borrow 1 ten from the tens place of 76.
    The tens digit of 76 changes from 7 to 6 (since we borrowed one ten), and the units digit becomes 16.
  • Step 3: Subtract the units digit.
    Subtract 7 from 16, resulting in 9.
    This is written in the units place of the answer.
  • Step 4: Subtract the tens digit.
    In the tens column, subtract 5 (from 57) from 6 (the new tens of 76 after borrowing), resulting in 1.

The final calculation looks like this:

765719 \begin{aligned} & 76 \\ - & 57 \\ \hline & 19 \\ \end{aligned}

Therefore, the result of the subtraction is 1919.

amp;83amp;amp;66amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &83 \\ -& \\ &66 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this subtraction problem step-by-step, we perform the following:

First, align the numbers for vertical subtraction:

8366 \begin{array}{r} 83 \\ -66 \\ \hline \end{array}

Step 1: Subtract the ones place:

The ones digit of 8383 (3) is smaller than the ones digit of 6666 (6). Therefore, we need to borrow.

  • Borrow 11 from the tens place of 8383, which becomes 77 leaving the original ones place of 13.
  • Subtract the ones digits: 136=713 - 6 = 7

Step 2: Subtract the tens place:

Now that we've borrowed, we are left with 77 in the tens place of the top number:

  • Subtract the tens digits: 76=17 - 6 = 1

Combine the results of the subtraction:

The final answer, after subtracting the two numbers, is 1717.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1717, which corresponds to choice 4.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the subtraction problem 9768 97 - 68 , we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Set up the numbers vertically, aligning the digits by place value.
  • Step 2: Subtract the digits in the units column. Here, 787 - 8 is not possible without borrowing.
  • Step 3: Borrow 1 from the tens column of 97, changing it to 8, and making the units column 17 (since 7 becomes 17 after borrowing).
  • Step 4: Subtract the units: 178=917 - 8 = 9.
  • Step 5: Move on to the tens column: 86=28 - 6 = 2.

Now, let's work through the subtraction:

Starting with the units: Borrow from the tens column, so the number in the tens becomes 8 and the units digit becomes 17.

Calculate the units: 178=917 - 8 = 9.

Then, calculate the tens: 86=28 - 6 = 2.

Putting it all together, the subtraction 976897 - 68 results in 2929.

Therefore, the solution to the subtraction problem is 2929.

Exercise #8

amp;98amp;amp;79amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &98 \\ -& \\ &79 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll subtract the two-digit numbers using the vertical subtraction method:

  • Step 1: Set up the problem vertically with minuend (98) above the subtrahend (79). Ensure digits are aligned by place value.
  • Step 2: Begin subtracting from the right-most column, the units place (8 - 9). Since 8 is less than 9, we must regroup.
  • Step 3: Regroup by borrowing 1 ten from the tens place of 98. This changes the tens place from 9 to 8, and the ones place becomes 18.
  • Step 4: Subtract the units column: 189=918 - 9 = 9.
  • Step 5: Now subtract the tens place digit. After borrowing, the tens digit of 98 is 8. Subtract: 87=18 - 7 = 1.

Combining the results from the two columns, we find that 9879=1998 - 79 = 19.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 19 19 .

Exercise #9

amp;74amp;amp;38amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &74 \\ -& \\ &38 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll use vertical subtraction:

  • Step 1: Set up the subtraction vertically, ensuring the digits align properly. Write 74 above 38, with a subtraction line underneath.
  • Step 2: Subtract the units column first. We have 484 - 8 which cannot be done directly since 4 is smaller than 8.
  • Step 3: Borrow (regroup) from the tens column, converting 74 into 60 and 14. This is achieved by reducing 74 to 6 tens (60) and adding 10 to the 4 units to make it 14.
  • Step 4: Now, subtract the units: 148=614 - 8 = 6.
  • Step 5: Next, subtract the tens column: 63=36 - 3 = 3.
  • Step 6: Combine the results of the tens and units: 3636.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 3636, which corresponds to choice 4.
