We can solve this together! We're beginning with 55181 and removing 44949 from it.

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

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 1 from 8 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 4 and the borrow 1 from 5 in column 4 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

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

So, 55181 - 44949 = 10232.
