We add -9 to 10 and get 1 as the next digit of the result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 1 from 8 in column 3 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 5 and the borrow 0 from 3 in column 4 and get -2.
We add -2 to 10 and get 8 as the next digit of the result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 1 and the borrow 1 from 3 in column 5 and get 1.
1 is the next digit of our result.
