4. Look at the tens column. Do you have enough
tens to subtract 9 tens?
5. Regroup 1 hundred into 10 tens. Cross out the 6 hundreds and
write 5 above it. Cross out the 5 tens and write 15 above it.
6. Subtract the tens. Record this value at the bottom of the
tens column.
15 tens - 9 tens =
tens
7. Do you have enough hundreds to subtract 2 hundreds?
8. Subtract the hundreds. Record this value at the bottom of the
hundreds column.

5 hundreds - 2 hundred =
9. Subtract the thousands. Record this value at the bottom of
the thousands column.
