Is subtracting the same as adding the opposite?
Yes, subtracting is mathematically equivalent to adding the opposite. For example, subtracting a number ( b ) from another number ( a ) (written as ( a - b )) can be expressed as adding the negative of ( b ) to ( a ) (written as ( a + (-b) )). This relationship is a fundamental property of arithmetic that helps simplify calculations and understand the concept of negative numbers.
