Explanation

Subtracting 35 - 17: Since 5 < 7, borrow 1 ten from 3 tens. Now we have 15 ones and 2 tens. Subtract ones: 15 - 7 = 8. Subtract tens: 2 - 1 = 1. The answer should be 18, not 22.

  3. Step 3: Now we have 15 ones and 2 tens

  4. Step 4: Subtract ones: 15 - 7 = 8

  5. Step 5: Subtract tens: 2 - 1 = 1

  6. Step 6: Correct answer = 18, not 22
