How to Solve 2-Digit Addition and Subtraction Problems
FAQs on Practice Addition and Subtraction of 2-Digit Numbers
1. How do you add and subtract 2-digit numbers?
To add or subtract 2-digit numbers, you align them vertically by place value and work column by column, starting from the ones place. For 2-digit addition, you add the ones, then the tens, carrying over if needed. For subtraction, you subtract the ones, then the tens, using regrouping (or borrowing) if the top digit is smaller than the bottom one.
2. What are mixed addition and subtraction facts?

These mixed problems worksheets challenge students to pay close attention to the operation sign and improve their flexibility in calculating both double digit sums and differences.
3. How do you subtract 2-digit numbers without regrouping?
Subtracting 2-digit numbers without regrouping is a simple method where you subtract the digits in each place value column directly. For a problem like 87 - 34, the steps are:
