Answer

93 − 15 =

78

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

93 − 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.
		8	+10
		9(was 9, now 8)	3 (was 3, now 13)
	−	1	5
		7	8

Column by column: 93 − 15

Ones: 3 is less than 5 — borrow 1 ten: tens 9 → 8; 13 − 5 = 8 — write 8.
Tens: after borrowing, 8; 8 − 1 = 7 — write 7.

93 − 15 = 78
