Let's analyze and solve the problem shown in the image. The subtraction problem appears as follows:

$69,20\Box - 3,7\Box46 = 25,5841$

We have to determine the missing digits represented by the boxes. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown of the subtraction:

Step 1: Align the numbers

The problem can be rewritten as: $69,20X - 3,7Y46 = 25,5841$ We know:

• $X$ is the last digit of the minuend (69,20X).
• $Y$ is the third digit from the left in the subtrahend (3,7Y46).

Step 2: Analyzing the units place

The unit place subtraction involves: $X - 6 = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad X = 7$

Step 3: Next column analysis

Let's now check the tens place: Since $Y$ needs to be determined and using the information we found in the units column, the next significant subtraction problem is: $0 - Y = 8 + 10 \text{ (borrowing happens)}$ Thus: $10 - Y = 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad Y = 2$

So, $X = 7$ and $Y = 2$. The full subtraction becomes: $69,207 - 37,246 = 25,5841$

The solution is:

The missing digits are $X = 7$ and $Y = 2$.
