Part 3 of 5: Subtraction with adjustment from the tens.It is important that you have already viewed and understood parts 1 & 2
before you go any further.
When subtracting, there will be times when the units in the bigger number are smaller than the units in the smaller number, e.g. 475 – 229

When subtracting, there will be times when the units in the bigger number are smaller than the units in the smaller number, e.g. 475 – 229When this happens, an adjustment is made from the tens to the units.

When subtracting, there will be times when the units in the bigger number are smaller than the units in the smaller number, e.g. 475 – 229When this happens, an adjustment is made from the tens to the units. A ten is effectively taken from the tens column.

Firstly, subtract the units.

Followed by the tens
When subtracting, there will be times when the units in the bigger number are smaller than the units in the smaller number, e.g. 475 – 229When this happens, an adjustment is made from the tens to the units. A ten is effectively taken from the tens column.And added to the units column.

The 3 answers are then added together to give the final answer
When subtracting, there will be times when the units in the bigger number are smaller than the units in the smaller number, e.g. 475 – 229When this happens, an adjustment is made from the tens to the units. A ten is effectively taken from the tens column.And added to the units column.
When this can be performed confidently, it can be simplified to a standard written method:
