How would you actually subtract 444 from 1999 in two different ways entirely in Roman numerals with step by step details?
before we show how to subtract in roman numerals, let's check the answer first. 1999 - 444 = 1555 1999 = MCMXCIX 444 = CDXLIV 1555 = MDLV if we separate them into each digit: 1999 = M/CM/XC/IX 444 = 0/CD/XL/IV (0 is just there as a placeholder so each has 4 "digits") 1555 = M/D/L/V And after this, we realize why people stopped using roman numerals and went with the superior hindu-arabic numerals. It just works.

How would you work out 1776 plus 549 in two different ways and 1776 minus 549 in two different ways but working out all four calculations entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Roman numerals are entirely inappropriate for doing such calculations. I believe the people in Roman times did such calculations on an abacus or something similar - which is basically similar to converting them to the Arabic numbers we use. If you really want to do it in Roman numerals - which is basically NOT a good idea - you would have to keep the thousands, hundreds, etc. separate, and handle carry (for addition) and borrowing (for subtraction).
What are the advantages for the roman numerals in trying to add and subtract?
