Quotient is the number you get when dividing two numbers.
Subtracting its additive inverse. (In principle, this is valid for adding positive numbers as well.)
Subtracting negative numbers is exactly the same as adding the positive number.
Adding is when you add numbers to something and subtracting is when you take them away. When you add you do not always make the number go up for example 5 + (-7)= -2.
Adding a negative number is equivalent to subtracting a positive number. For example, adding -3 is the same as subtracting 3. Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. For example, subtracting -3 is the same as adding 3. The rule to remember is that when you have a negative sign in front of a number, it actually changes its sign.
Adding makes more. Subtracting makes less. e.g. 123 +45 168 === which is more that the two initial numbers. 145 -23 122 === which is less than the initial number (145).
equivalent to subtracting a negative
When subtracting, the number moves to the left (negative direction). When adding, the number moves to the right (positive direction).
Because if you dont , your answer will be a whole number and that will make your answer wrong
When subtracting negative numbers change the subtraction sign to a plus and change the second number (which would appear to be positive) to a negative. ex. -14 - 7=?/-14 + -7= -21 When adding negative numbers just add them as they appear. ex. -2 + -5= -7
When multiplying or dividing numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures. When adding or subtracting numbers, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places.
