The result of a set of numbers being subtracted can be described as X. In algebraic form, this equation would look like Z-Y=X. If you would replace the variables X,Y with numbers, than your outcome would equal to X.
For example: z=15, y=7
15-7=?
15-7=8
Therefore your final answer would be: x=8
Remember to use the z-x=y formula.

When you subtract one number from another, the result is called the difference. What does your question mean? If by "when two whole numbers are subtracted" you mean that you subtract one whole number from the minuend, and then you subtract another whole number from the difference, then the answer you get is another difference. In effect, you have one minuend and two subtrahends.
4
Their difference.
-8
Yes, you can, but it starts getting complicated. You can, for example have a number raised to an exponent that is itself a number raised to an exponent, or you can have a number raised to an exponent and the result raised to another exponent.
