How is the subtraction of integers relate to the addition of integers subtraction?
they both have something to do with positive and negative
What do interger's allow you to do that whole numbers do not?
Integers are closed under subtraction, meaning that any subtraction problem with integers has a solution in the set of integers.
Is closure exist for whole numbers under subtraction and division for integers?
Whole numbers subtraction: YesDivision integers: No.

Explain how the subtraction of integers is related to the addition of integers?
Subtraction of integers is essentially addition of integers except the second integer is inverted. For example: 5 + 3 = 8 is a simple addition of integers. 5 - 3 = 5 is a simple subtraction of integers. It can be expressed by inverting the second value (the one right after the subration sign) and then switching the subtraction sign to an addition sign. So it would look like: 5 + (-3) = 5. Note that (-3) is the opposite of 3. So to do a more confusing subtraction problem like: 55 - (-5), we could rewrite this as: 55 + -(-5). From here it's easy to see that the two negatives cancel out. 55 + 5 = 60.
