8-3=9

That is incorrect. The correct answer is 5.

Actually, the correct answer is not 9. When you subtract 3 from 8, you get 5.

So, 8 - 3 = 5.

Actually, the equation you provided has an incorrect answer. The correct equation is 8 - 3 = 5, not 9. Allow me to explain how subtraction works to arrive at the correct answer.

In subtraction, we take a larger number and subtract a smaller number from it. The aim is to find the difference between the two numbers.

To solve the equation 8 - 3:
1. Start with the larger number, which in this case is 8.
2. Subtract the smaller number, which is 3, from the larger number.
Subtracting 3 from 8 means we take away 3 units from 8.
3. When we subtract 3 from 8, we are left with 5. Therefore, 8 - 3 = 5.

In conclusion, 8 - 3 equals 5, not 9.
