The -7 is called the difference. In any subtraction problem: a = b - c a is the difference b and c are terms (technically, b is minuend and c is subtrahend, but these terms are not really used in modern math)

Why -2 plus 2 become 0?
Because that problem is essentially 2-2=0 because subtraction is just adding a negative. And because if you have two and then take two away obviously means that you have none, adding a -2 to a positive 2 equals 0.
What is the value of x 4 x -2 equals 4?
x= 1.5 4x -2=4 <<< Original problem +2 +2 <<< reverse operations (problem requires subtraction, so add to solve) 4x=6 <<< New problem 4x/4=6/4 <<<reverse operations (new problem requires multiplication, so divide to solve) x=1.5 <<< answer

What 2 numbers multiplied equals 16 but when subtracted from each other equals 6?
factors of 16 1 and 16 2 and 8 4 and 4 so it must be 2 and 8 as only that pair gives 6 on subtraction

What is the opposite of subtrahend?
A subtrahend is the second number in a subtraction problem. 8-2=6 8 8 is called the minuend and 2 is called the subtrahend. The opposite of subtraction so the opposite of a subtrahend is an addend.
What does m equals in this problem 7 equals 2-5m?
m = -1
How do you solve x plus 8 equals 2?
x=-6 <><><> How to solve: what you do is start with the known answer, which is 2. And because the problem is one of addition, you do the opposite, subtraction. So, you subtract 8 from 2 (since you are taking the bigger from the smaller, you will go into negative numbers). So 2-8=x. The above answer is the correct answer.

What is 2a4 - 3b3 if a equals -2 and b equals 3?
The idea is to replace "a" and "b" with their values, and to do the calculations. I assume you mean 2a4 - 3b3; here you must calculate the powerf first, e.g., (-2)4, then do the multiplications, then the subtraction.
