Explanation:

Problem 14:

Step 1: Recall the subtraction formula

In a subtraction problem \( \text{Minuend} - \text{Subtrahend} = \text{Difference} \), we can find the subtrahend by rearranging the formula: \( \text{Subtrahend} = \text{Minuend} - \text{Difference} \). Here, the minuend is \( 75,303 \) and the difference is \( 74,464 \).

Step 2: Calculate the subtrahend

Substitute the values into the formula: \( 75303 - 74464 \).
\[

$$\begin{align*} 75303 - 74464 &= (75000 + 303) - (74000 + 464)\\ &= (75000 - 74000) + (303 - 464)\\ &= 1000 - 161\\ &= 839 \end{align*}$$

\]

Step 1: Recall the subtraction formula

Using \( \text{Subtrahend} = \text{Minuend} - \text{Difference} \), where the minuend is \( 83,300 \) and the difference is \( 75,565 \).

Step 2: Calculate the subtrahend

Substitute the values: \( 83300 - 75565 \).
\[

$$\begin{align*} 83300 - 75565 &= (83000 + 300) - (75000 + 565)\\ &= (83000 - 75000) + (300 - 565)\\ &= 8000 - 265\\ &= 7735 \end{align*}$$

\]

Step 1: Recall the subtraction formula

Using \( \text{Subtrahend} = \text{Minuend} - \text{Difference} \), with minuend \( 33,883 \) and difference \( 32,886 \).

Step 2: Calculate the subtrahend

Substitute the values: \( 33883 - 32886 \).
\[

$$\begin{align*} 33883 - 32886 &= (33000 + 883) - (32000 + 886)\\ &= (33000 - 32000) + (883 - 886)\\ &= 1000 - 3\\ &= 997 \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

\( 839 \)
