Answer

95 − 17 =
78

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

95 − 17 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)5 (was 5, now 15)
−17
78

Column by column: 95 − 17

  • Ones: 5 is less than 7 — borrow 1 ten: tens 9 → 8; 15 − 7 = 8 — write 8.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 8; 8 − 1 = 7 — write 7.

95 − 17 = 78

Second check: 95 − 78 = 17
