172

8+10
1 9(was 9, now 8)1 (was 1, now 11)
−19
172

Column by column: 191 − 19

  • Ones: 1 is less than 9 — borrow 1 ten: tens 9 → 8; 11 − 9 = 2 — write 2.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 8; 8 − 1 = 7 — write 7.
  • Hundreds: nothing to subtract — write 1.

191 − 19 = 172

Second check: 191 − 172 = 19
