Subtracting Mixed Numbers with Regrouping

The video tutorial by Mr. J explains how to subtract mixed numbers with regrouping, also known as borrowing. It covers setting up the problem vertically, finding a common denominator, renaming fractions, and performing the subtraction. The tutorial concludes with simplifying the result to its simplest form.
