When do you have to borrow and when do you have to carry over in math?

We borrow in multi-digit number subtraction when we cannot subtract the number in the place value. We borrow from the next place value over and add 10 of the current place value.

We carry over when the addition of two numbers in a place value creates an answer that includes a second digit. That second digit transfers to the next bigger place value.
