Step-by-step examples for verifying subtraction

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 Subtraction is the process of finding the difference between two numbers.
• ➖ The minuend is the number from which you subtract.
• ✅ The subtrahend is the number you subtract.
• ✨ The difference is the result of the subtraction.
• ➕ To verify subtraction, add the difference to the subtrahend. The result should equal the minuend. In formula: $Subtrahend + Difference = Minuend$
• 💡 Example: If $10 - 4 = 6$, then $4 + 6 = 10$.
