Answer :

To find [tex]\(135 - 276\)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Setup the subtraction: Write the numbers one below the other:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{c}
\phantom{-}135 \\
-276 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]

2. Subtract the units digits: Subtract 6 from 5. Since 5 is smaller than 6, you'll need to borrow from the tens digit:
- Borrow 1 from the tens place of 135, turning it from 3 to 2, and add 10 to the units place.
- Now you have 15 in the units place: [tex]\(15 - 6 = 9\)[/tex].

3. Subtract the tens digits: Now move to the tens place. You have 2 (after borrowing) minus 7. Since 2 is smaller than 7, you'll need to borrow from the hundreds digit:
- Borrow 1 from the hundreds place of 135, turning it from 1 to 0, and add 10 to the tens place.
- Now you have 12 in the tens place: [tex]\(12 - 7 = 5\)[/tex].

4. Subtract the hundreds digits: Finally, subtract the hundreds digit:
- Now you just have 0 in the hundreds place of the top number after borrowing, and 2 in the bottom: [tex]\(0 - 2\)[/tex].
- Since you can't subtract from 0, borrow from the imaginary next column. After borrowing, you find [tex]\(-2\)[/tex] in this column.

5. Put it all together: The subtraction gives:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{c}
\phantom{-}135 \\
-276 \\
\hline
-141 \\
\end{array}
\][/tex]

The result of [tex]\(135 - 276\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-141\)[/tex].
