Full solution

Q. 875987_{59}
  1. Subtract Ones Place: First, we need to subtract the ones place. So, 77 minus 99, we can't do that cause 77 is smaller than 99. We need to borrow from the tens place.
  2. Borrowing from Tens: After borrowing, we have 1717 in the ones place and 77 in the tens place. Now, 179=817 - 9 = 8.
  3. Subtract Tens Place: Next, we subtract the tens place. But we borrowed 11, so it's 77 minus 55 minus 11. That's 11, not 22. Oops, I made a mistake here.
