                                 -     5    3    9

                                       1    1    7            ANSWER

 

You can check your work by addition.

First, let's label a subtraction problem.

 

                                   656         Minuend      
                                -  539         Subtrahend
  

                                   117         Difference

 

To  check your subtraction problem, take the difference (answer) and add it to the subtrahend (the number you subtracted from the problem) and that should equal the minuend (the top number)

 

                      656                               117  Difference (Your Answer)

                  -   539                           +  539 Subtrahend   (The name you were subtracting)

                      117                               656

 

If you answer equals the Minuend you are RIGHT J

 

B.  Find 607 - 375.

 

                         5 10   

                          607  Subtract the ones.  Rename to get 10 more.

                      -   375  Subtract the tens.   Subtract the hundreds.

                          232

 

Check

 

                232

            +  375

                607

 

 

C.  Find 9839 - 915.

 

                 8 18

                 9839

               -   915

                 8924

 

Check

 

                      8924

                   +   915

                      9839
