  As for how you do it with the new math, no I can not, but the "old way" yes I can! Put 1500 down on paper and directly under it write 1132. Now the last 0 of 1500 represents 10. Subtract 2 from that 10 and get 8. Carry the 1 from 10 to add to the 3 = 4. Subtract 4 from the 0 above it (that also represents 10) = 6. Now that 1 from that 10 is added to the 2nd 1 of 1132. Subtract 2 from 5 = 3 and the final number 1, subtracted from 1 = 0. The final number is 368. If you want to check that number, take 368 added to 1132 and what do you get? = 1500. Sra
