Check the following subtraction

Explanation

We will add the difference (1,728) and the subtrahend (1,954) and compare that result to the minuend (3,682).  If the sum of the difference and the subtrahend gives the minuend, the subtraction checks.

The subtraction to check

\[ \begin{array}{r} \phantom{-}\,3,682\\ -\underline{1,954}\\[4pt] \phantom{-}\,1,728 \end{array} \]Its related addition statement

\[ \begin{array}{r} \phantom{-}\,1,728\\ +\underline{1,954}\\[4pt] \phantom{-}\,3,682 \end{array} \]

Since the sum of the difference and the subtrahend is the minuend, the subtraction is correct.
