There are two lists:



list1 = {{1, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 5}, {2, 5, 7}};
list2 = {{1, 2, 7}, {1, 3, 3}, {2, 5, 6}};


How can we subtract the last number of each raw in list2 from list1 as



diff = {{1, 2, 3}, {1, 3, -2}, {2, 5, -1}}

            Another solution:



            list1 // ReplacePart[ {i_, 3} :> Differences[ {list1, list2}, {1, 0} ][[ 1, i, 3]] ]



            {{1, 2, 3}, {1, 3, -2}, {2, 5, -1}}

              Try this:



              Transpose[
              Append[Transpose[list1 ][[1 ;; 2]],
              Last[Transpose[list2 ] - Transpose[list1 ]]]]

              (* {{1, 2, 3}, {1, 3, -2}, {2, 5, -1}} *)


              Have fun!
