Let’s solve each subtraction problem one by one. We’ll go step by step and make sure we get the right answer for each.

Top left section:
1.
10 - 6 = ?
Start at 10, count back 6: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 → Answer is
4
2.
9 - 4 = ?
9 minus 4: 8, 7, 6, 5 → Answer is
5
3.
7 - 6 = ?
7 minus 6 is just
1
4.
1 - 1 = ?
Anything minus itself is 0 →
0
5.
5 - 4 = ?
5 minus 4 is
1

Inside the egg (top to bottom):
6.
4 - 2 = ?
4 minus 2 is
2
7.
6 - 3 = ?
6 minus 3 is
3
8.
7 - 5 = ?
7 minus 5 is
2
9.
8 - 1 = ?
8 minus 1 is
7
10.
5 - 4 = ? (left heart)
Already did this — it’s
1
11.
10 - 1 = ? (middle heart)
10 minus 1 is
9
12.
2 - 0 = ? (right heart)
Subtracting zero doesn’t change the number →
2

Right side of the egg:
13.
8 - 3 = ?
8 minus 3: 7, 6, 5 →
5
14.
6 - 2 = ?
6 minus 2 is
4
15.
2 - 0 = ? (again, on right edge)
Still
2
16.
3 - 2 = ?
3 minus 2 is
1
---
Bottom part of the egg:
17.
8 - 2 = ?
8 minus 2 is
6
18.
6 - 6 = ?
Same number minus itself →
0
19.
4 - 1 = ? (at very bottom)
4 minus 1 is
3

Now let’s list all answers with their locations so we can color them later using the key:
Color Key:
- BLUE: 0, 2
- YELLOW: 1, 3
- PINK: 4, 9
- GREEN: 5, 6
- ORANGE: 7
Let’s match each answer to its color:
✔ 10 - 6 =
4 → PINK
✔ 9 - 4 =
5 → GREEN
✔ 7 - 6 =
1 → YELLOW
✔ 1 - 1 =
0 → BLUE
✔ 5 - 4 =
1 → YELLOW
✔ 4 - 2 =
2 → BLUE
✔ 6 - 3 =
3 → YELLOW
✔ 7 - 5 =
2 → BLUE
✔ 8 - 1 =
7 → ORANGE
✔ 5 - 4 =
1 → YELLOW
✔ 10 - 1 =
9 → PINK
✔ 2 - 0 =
2 → BLUE
✔ 8 - 3 =
5 → GREEN
✔ 6 - 2 =
4 → PINK
✔ 2 - 0 =
2 → BLUE
✔ 3 - 2 =
1 → YELLOW
✔ 8 - 2 =
6 → GREEN
✔ 6 - 6 =
0 → BLUE
✔ 4 - 1 =
3 → YELLOW
All calculations are double-checked and correct.
Final Answer:
The solved problems with their colors based on the key are:
- 10 - 6 = 4 → PINK
- 9 - 4 = 5 → GREEN
- 7 - 6 = 1 → YELLOW
- 1 - 1 = 0 → BLUE
- 5 - 4 = 1 → YELLOW
- 4 - 2 = 2 → BLUE
- 6 - 3 = 3 → YELLOW
- 7 - 5 = 2 → BLUE
- 8 - 1 = 7 → ORANGE
- 5 - 4 = 1 → YELLOW
- 10 - 1 = 9 → PINK
- 2 - 0 = 2 → BLUE
- 8 - 3 = 5 → GREEN
- 6 - 2 = 4 → PINK
- 2 - 0 = 2 → BLUE
- 3 - 2 = 1 → YELLOW
- 8 - 2 = 6 → GREEN
- 6 - 6 = 0 → BLUE
- 4 - 1 = 3 → YELLOW
