Find the missing digits.
- D
- E
D952 - 25E1 = 5381(a)
In the hundreds place, 9 is more than 5.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
D - 2 = 5
D = 5 + 2
D = 7
(b)
In the ones place, 2 is more than 1.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
5 - E = 8
In the tens place, 8 is more than 5.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 15 can substract a certain number to get 8.
E = 15 - 8
E = 7
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 7
