subject: What this student would do next...
I think there are at least two possibilities other than writing 1-1-9.
One would be to write 100 – 20 + 1. The other would be to keep the
positive digits (taking account of the place value) and subtract the
negative (again, taking account of the place value), that is, 101 – 20.
