Solution - Long subtraction
54
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
Place value | tens | ones |
6 | 0 | |
- | 6 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (0) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (6) in the next number place which becomes (5) and get (10).
Place value | tens | ones |
5 | 10 | |
6 | 0 | |
- | 6 | |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-6=4
Place value | tens | ones |
5 | 10 | |
6 | 0 | |
- | 6 | |
4 |
Write 5 in the tens place.
Place value | tens | ones |
5 | 10 | |
6 | 0 | |
- | 6 | |
5 | 4 |
The solution is: 54
