Yes, that is correct.
That is the beuty of algebr a- whatever you do to one side of the equation you do to the other and the sides remain equal.
The word algebra comes form the Arabic "al jabr" which means, roughly, "what I do to one side I do to the other"

Can large quantities can always be added or subtracted from both sides of an equation?
The size of the quantities involved doesn't matter. As long as you add or subtract (or divide or multiply) the same number to or from both sides of the equation, then the two sides remain equal.
Quantities can always be added or subtracted from both sides of an equation?
Yes, the point is that if two terms (or sides of the equation) are equal, then they remain equal as long as you add or subtract the same amount, to or from both of them. It's very logical.
If the right-hand side of a quadratic equation does not equal zero you need to the number or expression on the righthand side from both sides before you can use the quadratic formula?

How do you solve this 18 - 7 0?
to solve 18-70 you would subtract just like any other equation. 18-70 is equal to a negative number, -52.
Why can you multiply or divide both sides of an equation by the same number and still have the equation be true?
It was an equation to start with. That is, both sides were equal. So, if you do the same thing to each side they will still be equal. You can also add or subtract the same number from each side and they will be equal. As long as you treat both sides the same they will remain the alike -- that is, they will remain equal.

What is the property that you can subtract the same number from both sides of an equation the new equation will have the same solution?
The property is: If equals are subtracted from equals, the results are equal.
What is addition property of equality?
adding the same number to each side of an equation, while two sides remain equal
What does equation mean in the terms of math in more or less?
It means "not equal to".
