1. The problem asks to subtract 32 from 56 and then check the result by adding. 2. Write the subtraction: $$56 - 32$$ 3. Subtract the ones place: $$6 - 2 = 4$$ 4. Subtract the tens place: $$5 - 3 = 2$$ 5. So, $$56 - 32 = 24$$ 6. To check, add the result to the subtracted number: $$24 + 32$$ 7. Add the ones place: $$4 + 2 = 6$$ 8. Add the tens place: $$2 + 3 = 5$$ 9. So, $$24 + 32 = 56$$ which matches the original number, confirming the subtraction is correct. Final answer: $$56 - 32 = 24$$
