Answer

105

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

150 − 45 in a column. Above the columns: the values after borrowing — a crossed-out digit is replaced by the number above it; +10 marks a column that received a borrowed ten.
4+10
1 5(was 5, now 4)0 (was 0, now 10)
−45
105

Column by column: 150 − 45

  • Ones: 0 is less than 5 — borrow 1 ten: tens 5 → 4; 10 − 5 = 5 — write 5.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 4; 4 − 4 = 0 — write 0.
  • Hundreds: nothing to subtract — write 1.

150 − 45 = 105
