Find the missing digits.
- V
- X
V716 - 75X1 = 2135(a)
In the hundreds place, 7 is more than 5.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
V - 7 = 2
V = 2 + 7
V = 9
(b)
In the ones place, 6 is more than 1.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
1 - X = 3
In the tens place, 3 is more than 1.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 11 can substract a certain number to get 3.
X = 11 - 3
X = 8
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 8
