1. 9080 - 4789

```
9080
- 4789
------
4291
```
Explanation:
- 0 - 9 → borrow: 10 - 9 = 1, but we need to borrow from left.
- 8 becomes 7, 0 becomes 10 → 10 - 9 = 1
- 7 (after borrow) - 8 → can't do, borrow again: 17 - 8 = 9
- 0 becomes 9 after borrow, then 9 - 7 = 2
- 9 - 4 = 5

Wait, let's do it properly:

```
9080
- 4789
------
```

Start from right:
- 0 - 9 → borrow: 10 - 9 = 1, 8 becomes 7
- 7 - 8 → can't, borrow: 17 - 8 = 9, 0 becomes 9
- 9 - 7 = 2
- 8 - 4 = 4

Wait — actually, after borrowing, the thousands place: 9 - 4 = 5?

Wait — let’s write it clearly:

```
9080
- 4789
------
```

Step-by-step:

- Units: 0 - 9 → borrow → 10 - 9 = 1 → tens digit (8) becomes 7
- Tens: 7 - 8 → can’t → borrow from hundreds → 17 - 8 = 9 → hundreds digit (0) becomes 9
- Hundreds: 9 - 7 = 2
- Thousands: 9 - 4 = 5

So: 4291

✔ Answer: 4291

2. 9070 - 4469

```
9070
- 4469
------
4601
```

- 0 - 9 → borrow → 10 - 9 = 1, 7 becomes 6
- 6 - 6 = 0
- 0 - 4 → borrow → 10 - 4 = 6, 9 becomes 8
- 8 - 4 = 4

Wait: thousands: 9 → becomes 8 after borrow, 8 - 4 = 4

So: 4601

✔ Answer: 4601

3. 9060 - 3569

```
9060
- 3569
------
5491
```

- 0 - 9 → borrow → 10 - 9 = 1, 6 becomes 5
- 5 - 6 → borrow → 15 - 6 = 9, 0 becomes 9
- 9 - 5 = 4
- 9 - 3 = 6

Wait: thousands: 9 - 3 = 6? But after borrow, is it still 9?

Actually: hundreds digit was 0, borrowed → becomes 9, then 9 - 5 = 4

Thousands: 9 - 3 = 6

But wait: 9060 - 3569:

- 0 - 9 → borrow → 10 - 9 = 1 → tens digit 6 → 5
- 5 - 6 → borrow → 15 - 6 = 9 → hundreds digit 0 → borrow → becomes 9
- 9 - 5 = 4
- 8 (after borrow) - 3 = 5

Wait! After borrowing from thousands, thousands digit becomes 8

So:

- 9060 → after borrowing for hundreds: 8|10|5|10
- Subtract: 3|5|6|9

So:
- Units: 10 - 9 = 1
- Tens: 5 - 6 → can't → borrow → 15 - 6 = 9 → hundreds becomes 9
- Hundreds: 9 - 5 = 4
- Thousands: 8 - 3 = 5

So: 5491

✔ Answer: 5491

- 7 - 7 = 0
- 0 - 9 → borrow → 10 - 9 = 1 → 9 becomes 8
- 8 - 2 = 6

So: 6102

✔ Answer: 6102
