Answer

84 − 15 =

69

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

84 − 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.
		7	+10
		8(was 8, now 7)	4 (was 4, now 14)
	−	1	5
		6	9

Column by column: 84 − 15

Ones: 4 is less than 5 — borrow 1 ten: tens 8 → 7; 14 − 5 = 9 — write 9.
Tens: after borrowing, 7; 7 − 1 = 6 — write 6.

84 − 15 = 69
