### A good answer might be:

0011 1000 (incorrect)

# End of the Chapter

The integer to be subtracted is complemented:

>     0111 1000 → 1000 0111 + 1 → 1000 1000

...then added to the other:

>     10000 000
>      1011 0000  = - 8010
>      1000 1000  = -12010
>      ---------    -----
>      0011 1000     +5610 !??!!

Since the carry into the most significant column is NOT the same as the carry out, the result is not correct.
