How to use subtrahend in the calculation?

Let X represents the number from which subtrahend is subtracted.

Therefore, we can calculate X as follows:

X – 17 = 222

X = 222 + 17 = 239

If the subtrahend is read correctly as 71 and then subtracted from 239, we have:

Actual difference = 239 – 71

Actual difference = 168
