Answer 2

Answer:

8 - 19 = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 8 minus 19 using the long subtraction method.

Before we continue, note that 8 is called the minuend and 19 is called the subtrahend.

To solve the problem 8 minus 19 using long subtraction we first put the largest number on top and the smallest number at the bottom like this:

             1 9

     -       0 8

                 

Then you subtract the ones digits (9 - 8 = 1) like this:

             1 9

     -       0 8

               1

Next you subtract the tens digits (1 - 0 = 1) like this:

             1 9

     -       0 8

             1 1

Note that since the minuend is smaller than the subtrahend, the answer is a negative number.

And that's it. The problem with the answer is displayed below:
