In a subtraction problem like c - b = a, c is called the minuend, b is called the subtrahend, and a is called the difference.
After you have subtracted the subtrahend from the minuend to arrive at the difference, you can add the difference to the subtrahend to see if the answer equals the minuend.
That is, after you solve c - b = a, you can add a + b to see if you get c.
If so, you have done the subtraction correctly, or you've made two matching mistakes that cancelled each other.
You can check subtraction by adding because subtraction is essentially the inverse operation of addition. When you subtract a number from another, the result should match the original number when you add the subtracted value back to the result. If the sum of the result and the subtracted number equals the original number, then the subtraction was performed correctly. This relationship between the two operations ensures accuracy in calculations.
Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.
l like adding better than subtraction in maths
You don't. You can check addition with subtraction or subtraction with addition, since subtraction is the opposite of addition. Similary, you can check division with multiplication, or vice versa.
They are different in the same way that subtraction of integers is different from their addition.

adding, subtraction, multiplacation and divsion.
They are different in the same way that subtraction of integers is different from their addition.
Addition and subtraction can be thought of as the same thing because subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it and adding a negative number is the same as subtracting it.
An adding machine is a mechanical or electromechanical calculator which could perform addition and subtraction.
adding is 2+2=4 and subtraction is 2-2=0
Writing a check is essentially a subtraction from your account balance. When you write a check, you are instructing your bank to withdraw a specific amount from your account to pay someone else, thus reducing your available funds.
In subtraction you take away rather than add. Also, addition is commutative, subtraction is not so the order of the numbers does matter for subtraction.
Addition and subtraction are inverse functions.
