Let's get this math done. We have 65029 and 42974, and we're going to subtract the second number from the first.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 1 and get 5.
5 is the first digit of our result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 7 and the borrow 0 from 2 in column 2 and get -5.
We add -5 to 10 and get 5 as the next digit of the result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 3 and get -10.
We add -10 to 10 and get 0 as the next digit of the result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 2 and the borrow 1 from 5 in column 4 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 0 from 6 in column 5 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

So, 65029 - 42974 = 22055.
