Answer:

29000 is your answer

Explanation:

round each number to the nearest thousand.

Look at the place value to the right of the thousands place (hundreds). If the number is 5 or greater, round up, if 4 and lower, round down.

75675 rounded to the nearest thousand is 76000

46659 rounded to the nearest thousand is 47000

Subtract

76000 - 47000 = 29000

29000 is your answer
