Solution - Long subtraction
37
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 4 | 5 | |
| - | 8 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (5) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (4) in the next number place which becomes (3) and get (15).
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 3 | 15 | |
| 4 | 5 | |
| - | 8 | |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
15-8=7
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 3 | 15 | |
| 4 | 5 | |
| - | 8 | |
| 7 |
Write 3 in the tens place.
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 3 | 15 | |
| 4 | 5 | |
| - | 8 | |
| 3 | 7 |
The solution is: 37
