Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 31425 and 1425, and we're subtracting the second number from the first.

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

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

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

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

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 3 in column 5 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

So, 31425 - 1425 = 30000.
