What is the result of subtracting 8 from 15?

To find the result of subtracting 8 from 15, you perform the operation ( 15 - 8 ).

When you take 15 and remove 8, you can think of it as counting backwards: starting at 15, if you step back 8 units, you would arrive at 7. This can be verified by breaking it down:

1. Subtracting 5 from 15 gives you 10 (since 15 - 5 = 10).

2. Subtracting another 3 from 10 gives you 7 (since 10 - 3 = 7).

So, the complete subtraction results in ( 15 - 8 = 7 ).

Therefore, the correct result of subtracting 8 from 15 is 7.
