Hopefully you know at least how to add (5+4 = 9, etc). If not you should definitely learn to add before you learn to type. Adding whole numbers is the same as adding numbers you learned in kindergarten, with the exception of 0 (but then, a+0 = a for all numbers a).

Say you wanted to subtract 7 from 13.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 <- 7 <- 8 <- 9 <- 10 <- 11 <- 12 <- 13
Basically, all you do is count down 7 numbers from 13, which takes you to 6.
Now say you wanted to add 8 to 12.
10 11 12 -> 13 -> 14 -> 15 -> 16 -> 17 -> 18 -> 19 -> 20 21 22
All you is go 8 numbers up from 12, which leads you to 20.

How do you subtract and add angle measures?
In the same way that you subtract and add numbers. Sometimes, though, if the answer is greater than 360 dgrees, you can subtract 360. This is because the angle measure of a whole turn and a bit is the same as the angle measure of the bit.
How can we determine what to do add subtract multiply or divide on word problem questions on whole numbers?

How is adding and subtracting decimals similar to and different from adding and subtracting whole numbers?
You write down the numbers you want to add and subtract, making sure the decimal points are aligned. Then, you add (or subtract) EXACTLY as you would add or subtract integers. The decimal point in the solution should be aligned with the decimal points in the original numbers.
How do your borrow from a whole number when subtracting fractions?
A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction. A fraction is a number that is less than whole and that has a denominator underneath a numerator. To add or subtract mixed numbers, add or subtract the fractions, then add or subtract the whole numbers. If the fraction portion of a mixed number, such as 2 5/6, is more than the fraction portion of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from, such as 3 1/6, you must borrow from the whole number of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from to make its fraction bigger...
