No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 20143 and are subtracting 8908 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 8 and the borrow 0 from 3 in column 1 and get -5.
We add -5 to 10 and get 5 as the first digit of the result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 1 from 4 in column 2 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 1 in column 3 and get -8.
We add -8 to 10 and get 2 as the next digit of the result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 8 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 4 and get -9.
We add -9 to 10 and get 1 as the next digit of the result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 1 from 2 in column 5 and get 1.
1 is the next digit of our result.

So, 20143 - 8908 = 11235.
