Subtracting means taking away one number from another number. Usually a bigger number from a smaller number. To subtract 2- digit numbers from themselves,
Place one number above the other so the tens’ place digits and ones’ place digits are lined up. Draw a line under the bottom number.
6 7 = 60 + 7
– 4 1 – 40 + 1
————-
Subtract the bottom ones’ place digit (1) from the top ones’ place digit (7) and place the difference (6) below the line in the ones’ place column.
