7 - 4 = 3
7 + (-4) = 3
I believe you may be thinking of the commutative property. If so, it's a property of a binary operator (one that takes 2 arguments, like addition) that means changing the order of the arguments doesn't change the outcome. For example, addition is commutative: 1 + 3 = 4 and 3 + 1 = 4. This works regardless of the arguments. Subtraction, on the other hand, is NOT commutative: 1 - 3 = -2 and 3 - 1 = 2. In some cases (when the arguments are both the same) changing the order wouldn't matter, but the commutative property means that it works for any arguments, so subtraction doesn't have it.
The communative property is that if you switch digits around in an equation that is multiplication or addition, you get the same outcome anyway. Examples: 6x3=18 3x6=18 4+28=32 28+4=32
no it does not affect the outcome
In mathematics, the associative property refers to the way in which the grouping of numbers does not affect the result of certain operations, specifically addition and multiplication. For example, in addition, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), and in multiplication, (a × b) × c = a × (b × c). This property allows for flexibility in calculations, making it easier to compute and rearrange terms without changing the outcome.

Associative property
Goal seek is where you can determine how you would get an outcome by changing a certain factor. It helps you to figure out what that factor would need to be to reach that outcome. Hope that helps! XD
Scenario
When polls are taken, they tend to predict the outcome of political elections.
What-if analysis.
In math, "opposite signs" refers to numbers that have different signs, such as positive and negative. For example, +3 and -3 are considered to have opposite signs. This concept is important in various mathematical operations, particularly in addition and subtraction, as it affects the outcome of combining numbers. When two numbers with opposite signs are added, their absolute values are subtracted from each other.
