Find the missing digits.
- T
- U
T279 - 57U3 = 2496(a)
In the hundreds place, 2 is less than 7.
So, there is regrouping in the thousands place.
T - 1 - 5 = 2
T = 2 + 5 + 1
T = 8
(b)
In the ones place, 9 is more than 3.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
7 - U = 9
In the tens place, 9 is more than 7.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 17 can substract a certain number to get 9.
U = 17 - 9
U = 8
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 8
