We learned how to use expanded addition to solve problems in

Unit 1, Lesson 3. The expanded form is also used to solve subtraction

problems. This is called expanded subtraction .

Look at how we model the subtraction problem 98 − 65.

Steps for Using Expanded Subtraction:

STEP 1

90 8

Write the numbers in expanded form.

 65 S

− 60 5

Step 2

Subtract the ones column.

Write 3 in the ones column.

− 60

Step 3

Subtract the tens column.

Write 30 in the tens column.

−

Step 4

90 8

Combine and write the answer in standard form.

− 60 5

30 3

30 + 3 = 33

The sum is 30 + 3 = 33.

Remembering the steps of expanded addition will help us complete

expanded subtraction problems. We write problems in expanded form

to see the value of each digit in the problem.
