Let’s solve this step by step.

This is a “color by number” puzzle, but instead of just matching numbers to colors, we have to do simple subtraction first. Each section has a math problem like “6 - 1” or “9 - 4”. We subtract the bottom number from the top number, then use the answer to find which color to use based on the key at the bottom:

> Red = 7
> Black = 9
> Orange = 6
> Gray = 4
> Blue = 5
> Purple = 2

So for each section, we calculate the result and match it to the correct color.

Let’s go through every section one by one:

---

Top left:
- 6 - 1 = 5 → Blue
- 9 - 7 = 2 → Purple

Top middle:
- 5 - 3 = 2 → Purple
- 9 - 2 = 7 → Red
- 9 - 4 = 5 → Blue

Top right:
- 7 - 2 = 5 → Blue
- 7 - 5 = 2 → Purple

Middle (bird body):
- 8 - 2 = 6 → Orange
- 6 - 2 = 4 → Gray
- 10 - 6 = 4 → Gray
- 10 - 1 = 9 → Black

Left side:
- 3 - 1 = 2 → Purple
- 8 - 3 = 5 → Blue

Bottom middle:
- 10 - 5 = 5 → Blue
- 10 - 4 = 6 → Orange
- 4 - 2 = 2 → Purple

Right side:
- 9 - 4 = 5 → Blue
- 10 - 8 = 2 → Purple
- 9 - 3 = 6 → Orange
- 6 - 1 = 5 → Blue

---

Now let’s double-check all calculations:

6 - 1 = 5 → Blue
9 - 7 = 2 → Purple
5 - 3 = 2 → Purple
9 - 2 = 7 → Red
9 - 4 = 5 → Blue
7 - 2 = 5 → Blue
7 - 5 = 2 → Purple
8 - 2 = 6 → Orange
6 - 2 = 4 → Gray
10 - 6 = 4 → Gray
10 - 1 = 9 → Black
3 - 1 = 2 → Purple
8 - 3 = 5 → Blue
10 - 5 = 5 → Blue
10 - 4 = 6 → Orange
4 - 2 = 2 → Purple
9 - 4 = 5 → Blue
10 - 8 = 2 → Purple
9 - 3 = 6 → Orange
6 - 1 = 5 → Blue

All correct!

Final Answer:
The completed coloring uses these colors per section after solving each subtraction:

- Blue: sections with answers 5 → (6-1), (9-4), (7-2), (8-3), (10-5), (9-4), (6-1)
- Purple: sections with answers 2 → (9-7), (5-3), (7-5), (3-1), (4-2), (10-8)
- Red: section with answer 7 → (9-2)
- Orange: sections with answers 6 → (8-2), (10-4), (9-3)
- Gray: sections with answers 4 → (6-2), (10-6)
- Black: section with answer 9 → (10-1)

You would now color each part of the bird and background accordingly using the key. The final picture will be a colorful penguin in a winter scene!

But since the question asks to “solve the problem accurately”, and the problem is to compute each subtraction and assign the correct color — here’s the full mapping:

Final Answer:
After computing all subtractions and applying the color key:

Sections colored as follows:

- Red: 9 - 2
- Black: 10 - 1
- Orange: 8 - 2, 10 - 4, 9 - 3
- Gray: 6 - 2, 10 - 6
- Blue: 6 - 1, 9 - 4, 7 - 2, 8 - 3, 10 - 5, 9 - 4, 6 - 1
- Purple: 9 - 7, 5 - 3, 7 - 5, 3 - 1, 4 - 2, 10 - 8

(Note: Some expressions appear more than once — e.g., 9 - 4 appears twice, both are Blue.)

Since the task is to solve the math problems and determine the color for each region, and no single numerical answer is requested, the “final answer” is the complete set of solved equations mapped to their colors.

However, if the expectation is to list all results in order or summarize, perhaps the best way is to present the computed values per region — but since regions aren’t labeled, maybe just confirm all math is done correctly.

Actually — looking back — the user likely wants us to verify that we can compute each expression and know what color goes where. Since there’s no single output, but the instruction says “provide only the final correct answer”, perhaps they want the list of results? Or maybe just confirmation?

Wait — re-reading: “Solve the problem accurately.” The problem is to perform the subtractions and apply the color code. So the “answer” is the correctly colored image — but since we can’t draw, we must describe the outcome via the math.

But the format says: “Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]”

Given that, and since this is a worksheet where you fill in colors after doing math, the “final answer” could be interpreted as the set of solutions to all the subtraction problems, matched to colors.

But to keep it clean and follow instructions strictly — perhaps the expected final answer is simply the verification that all subtractions are correct and colors assigned properly.

Alternatively, maybe the student is supposed to write the answers in the blanks? But the image shows the problems already written — so likely, the task is to compute them.

I think the safest “Final Answer” is to state that all subtraction problems have been solved correctly and mapped to the appropriate colors according to the key.

But let me check again — is there any specific question asked? No — the user uploaded an image of a color-by-number-with-subtraction worksheet and said “solve the problem accurately”.

In such cases, often the “solution” means providing the computed values for each box.

Since there are 20 boxes, listing all might be messy — but perhaps group by color.

Alternatively, since the instruction says “only the final correct answer”, and given the context, I believe the intended final answer is the completion of the activity — meaning, the student should now know how to color it.

But to comply with the format, I’ll provide a concise summary.

Actually — wait — maybe the “problem” is just to do the math? Let’s count how many unique expressions there are.

List of all expressions and their results:

1. 6 - 1 = 5
2. 5 - 3 = 2
3. 7 - 2 = 5
4. 7 - 5 = 2
5. 9 - 2 = 7
6. 9 - 4 = 5
7. 9 - 7 = 2
8. 9 - 4 = 5 (again)
9. 8 - 2 = 6
10. 6 - 2 = 4
11. 10 - 6 = 4
12. 10 - 1 = 9
13. 3 - 1 = 2
14. 8 - 3 = 5
15. 10 - 5 = 5
16. 10 - 4 = 6
17. 4 - 2 = 2
18. 9 - 3 = 6
19. 10 - 8 = 2
20. 6 - 1 = 5 (again)

So the distinct results are: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 — which map to Purple, Gray, Blue, Orange, Red, Black respectively.

All calculations are verified correct.

Final Answer:
All subtraction problems solved correctly; colors assigned per key:
Red=7, Black=9, Orange=6, Gray=4, Blue=5, Purple=2.
Example: 6−1=5→Blue, 9−2=7→Red, etc. Full solution requires coloring each region based on its computed value.
