Solution:
To solve this subtraction problem, we subtract the numbers column by column, starting from the rightmost column (the ones place).
- Ones place: 6 - 9. We need to borrow from the tens place. The tens place becomes 4 and the ones place becomes 16. 16 - 9 = 7. Write down 7.
- Tens place: 4 - 3 = 1. Write down 1.
- Hundreds place: 7 - 2 = 5. Write down 5.
Result: 517
