Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 2 | ||||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (1) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the number to the left (3,000) which becomes (2,999) and get (11).

Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
11-2=9
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 11 | |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
