Evaluate. 14.3-0.595=

Aligning the numbers: Align the numbers vertically by their decimal points. We need to write the numbers one under the other, making sure the decimal points are aligned, so we can subtract them correctly.Performing the subtraction: Subtract the numbers. We perform the subtraction operation from right to left, borrowing from the next left digit if necessary. Calculation: 14.300 - 0.595 --------- 13.705Checking for math errors: Check for math errors. We can check our subtraction by adding the result to the smaller number to see if we get the larger number. Calculation: 13.705 + 0.595 --------- 14.300 Since 14.300 is the original number we started with, our subtraction is correct.
