Answer

41 − 15 =

26

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

41 − 15 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.
		3	+10
		4(was 4, now 3)	1 (was 1, now 11)
	−	1	5
		2	6

Column by column: 41 − 15

Ones: 1 is less than 5 — borrow 1 ten: tens 4 → 3; 11 − 5 = 6 — write 6.
Tens: after borrowing, 3; 3 − 1 = 2 — write 2.

41 − 15 = 26
