Solution - Long subtraction
38
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 6 | 3 | |
| - | 2 | 5 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (3) 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 (13).
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 5 | 13 | |
| 6 | 3 | |
| - | 2 | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
13-5=8
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 5 | 13 | |
| 6 | 3 | |
| - | 2 | 5 |
| 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
5-2=3
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 5 | 13 | |
| 6 | 3 | |
| - | 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 8 |
The solution is: 38
