Question

here are the numbers in expanded form.
951 = 900 + 50 + 1
238 = 200 + 30 + 8
subtract the hundreds, the tens, and the ones. you w
951 - 238 = \square + \square + \square
now find the answer.
951 - 238 = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract hundreds place

Subtract the hundreds digits: \(900 - 200 = 700\)

Step2: Subtract tens place

Subtract the tens digits: \(50 - 30 = 20\)

Step3: Subtract ones place (adjust for borrowing)

Since \(1 < 8\), we borrow 1 from the tens place (making the tens place \(50 - 10 = 40\) and the ones place \(1 + 10 = 11\)). Then subtract: \(11 - 8 = 3\)

Step4: Combine results

Now, combine the results from each place: \(951 - 238 = 700 + 20 + 3\)

Step5: Calculate the total

Add the three parts: \(700 + 20 + 3 = 723\)

Answer:

First, \(951 - 238 = \boldsymbol{700} + \boldsymbol{20} + \boldsymbol{3}\) (for the expanded subtraction). Then, the final answer is \(\boldsymbol{723}\).
