578

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

590 − 12 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.
			8	+10
		5	9(was 9, now 8)	0 (was 0, now 10)
	−		1	2
		5	7	8

Column by column: 590 − 12

Ones: 0 is less than 2 — borrow 1 ten: tens 9 → 8; 10 − 2 = 8 — write 8.
Tens: after borrowing, 8; 8 − 1 = 7 — write 7.
Hundreds: nothing to subtract — write 5.

590 − 12 = 578
