Carmen has leamed an algorithm for subtraction. She uses it to find 51- 17 as follows. so 51+ 10 = 50 + 11 so - (17 + 10) = - (20 + 7) 51 + 10 = 61 - (17 + 10) = - 27 So her answer is 30 +4 = 34. (a) What properties does Carmen's algorithm use? Is her method correct? (b) Now solve another subtraction problem, 74 – 36, with Carmen's algorithm. Use the traditional algorithm to check your work.

Question
Carmen has learned an algorithm for subtraction. She uses it to find 51 - 17 as follows.
51 + 10 = 61
so
51 + 10 = 50 + 11
so - (17+ 10) = - (20 + 7)
- (17 + 10) = - 27
So her answer is 30 + 4 = 34.
(a) What properties does Carmen's algorithm use? Is her method correct?
(b) Now solve another subtraction problem, 74- 36, with Carmen's algorithm. Use the traditional algorithm to check your work.
(b) Substitute the numbers from the subtraction problem into Carmen's algorithm and complete the first step.
74 + 10 =
74 + 10 = 70+
so
- (36 + 10) =
so
- (36 + 10) = - (40 +
Continue to use Carmen's algorithm to complete the subtraction. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
