here's the solution to the subtraction problem.

Set up the subtraction problem.
The problem is to subtract 355 from 500.
$\begin{array}{r} 500 \\ - 355 \\ \hline \end{array}$
Subtract the ones column.
We cannot subtract 5 from 0. We need to borrow from the tens place. Since the tens place is also 0, we borrow from the hundreds place.
The 5 in the hundreds place becomes 4.
The 0 in the tens place becomes 10.
Now, borrow from the tens place for the ones place.
The 10 in the tens place becomes 9.
The 0 in the ones place becomes 10.
So, $10 - 5 = 5$ .
$\begin{array}{r} \cancel{5}^4 \cancel{0}^9 \cancel{0}^{10} \\ - 355 \\ \hline 5 \end{array}$
Subtract the tens column.
We now have 9 in the tens place.
$9 - 5 = 4$ .
$\begin{array}{r} \cancel{5}^4 \cancel{0}^9 \cancel{0}^{10} \\ - 355 \\ \hline 45 \end{array}$
Subtract the hundreds column.
We now have 4 in the hundreds place.
$4 - 3 = 1$ .
$\begin{array}{r} \cancel{5}^4 \cancel{0}^9 \cancel{0}^{10} \\ - 355 \\ \hline 145 \end{array}$
The result of the subtraction is 145.
