the digits 1 through 9 are used in this subtraction problem --- - 452 = 3--
To find the missing digits in the subtraction problem "--- - 452 = 3--", we can go step by step.
First, let's focus on the ones place.
Since we have "--- - 452", we need to subtract 2 from something to get a result that ends with 3 in the ones place. The only possibility is if we subtract 2 from 5. So, the first digit in the ones place is 5.
Next, let's move to the tens place.
Now we have "--5 - 452", and we need to subtract 5 from something to get a result that ends with the digit in the tens place. Since we need a result that ends with 2 in the tens place, the only possibility is if we subtract 5 from 7. So, the digit in the tens place is 7.
Finally, let's consider the hundreds place.
We have "7-5 - 452", and we need to subtract 4 from something to get a result that ends with the digit in the hundreds place. Since we need a result that ends with 5 in the hundreds place, the only possibility is if we subtract 4 from 8. So, the digit in the hundreds place is 8.
Putting it all together, the missing digits in the subtraction problem "--- - 452 = 3--" are 875.
