Add the digits in the tens column:

8 + 8 = 16

How did we add the digits? Explanation below.

Group the ones together in order to make tens:


8 + 8 =


8 + 8 =


2 + 6 + 8 =


2 + 6 + 8 =


(2 + 8) + 6 =


10 + 6 =


16


Change the order in which the numbers are added, the sum stays the same.
Break some number(s) into component parts, the sum stays the same.


The sum is a two-digit number: 16.


6 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.


1 is the hundreds digit.
Carry it over to the hundreds column.
Write the digit above that column.
Add it with the rest of the digits in that column.

Addition result:

4,080 + 10,181 = 14,261

Answer:
- 4,080 - 10,181 = - 14,261

The initial operation has become:

- 4,080 + 9,583 - 10,181 =


9,583 - 14,261

Now subtract the final numbers above:
9,583 - 14,261 = ?

The second number is larger than the first.

The answer will be negative (less than zero).


To subtract the numbers just reverse them:

14,261 - 9,583 = ?


But at the end attach a minus sign in front of the result.


Stack the numbers on top of each other.

The ones digits line up in the first column from the right.

The tens digits line up in the next column to the left.

 04678

Leading zeros

When leading zeros occupy the most significant digits of a natural number, they could be left blank and the numeric value stays the same:

04678 = 4678

The answer will be negative (less than zero):

9,583 - 14,261 = - 4,678

Final answer:
- 4,080 + 9,583 - 10,181 = - 4,678
