Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll go row by row, left to right.

Row 1:
1. 1562 – 1357
Start from the right:
2 – 7 → can’t do, borrow → 12 – 7 = 5
5 (became 5 after borrowing) – 5 = 0
5 – 3 = 2
1 – 1 = 0
→ 205
2. 9220 – 7885
0 – 5 → borrow → 10 – 5 = 5
1 (after borrow) – 8 → borrow → 11 – 8 = 3
1 (after borrow) – 8 → borrow → 11 – 8 = 3
8 (after borrow) – 7 = 1
→ 1335
3. 2483 – 1750
3 – 0 = 3
8 – 5 = 3
4 – 7 → borrow → 14 – 7 = 7
