Answer

539 − 54 =

485

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the hundreds

539 − 54 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
		5(was 5, now 4)	3 (was 3, now 13)	9
	−		5	4
		4	8	5

Column by column: 539 − 54

Ones: 9 − 4 = 5 — write 5.
Tens: 3 is less than 5 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 5 → 4; 13 − 5 = 8 — write 8.
Hundreds: after borrowing, 4; nothing to subtract — write 4.

539 − 54 = 485
