Okay, let's tackle this math problem. We're starting with 8867 and subtracting 7659.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 7 in column 1 and get -2.
We add -2 to 10 and get 8 as the first digit of the result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 5 and the borrow 1 from 6 in column 2 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 6 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 3 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 7 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 4 and get 1.
1 is the next digit of our result.

So, 8867 - 7659 = 1208.
