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.
