Subtracting two digit number by breaking a second number into tens and ones.
Find the difference for [tex]36-17[/tex] using the break apart.
Now, break 17 into 10 + 2 + 5
Subtract 10 from the original number (i.e 36) = [tex]36 -10 = 26[/tex]
Next subtract 2 from the answer, [tex]26 - 2 = 24[/tex]
then, subtract 5 more, [tex]24 -5 = 19[/tex]
Also, you can see the number line in the given figure as shown below.
So, 36 - 17 = 19
