For each problem below, four different ways to start are shown. Choose two of the starts and use each one to solve the rest of the problem.

1 805 − 694 =      
  805 − 600 = 694 + 6 = 805 − 700 = table with 3 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , 805 , row2 column 1 , modified negative 694 with under bar below , row3 column 1 , 1 , end table
  First way:   Second way:  
2 1,363 − 779 =      
  1,363 − 700 = 1,363 − 363 = 779 + 21 = table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , 13 , modified cross out enclosing , 6 , end crossout with 5 above . modified cross out enclosing , 3 , end crossout with 13 above , row2 column 1 , modified negative 779 with under bar below , end table
