I have a new way in checking answers in subtraction. If you have the answer, subtract the minuend to the difference then, if the answer is the subtrahend the answer is correct. Here is an example.
E.g.
13738724-11234689=2504035
Check = 13738724(the minuend)-2504035(the answer)= 11234689
Another simple example.
E.g.
67-23=44
Check= 67(minuend)-44(answer)=23(subtrahend)
Thanks and God Bless You!
NOTE: I do not know if anyone also knows this trick!

Subtraction is used to check addition.
Addition is the opposite of subtraction. For example, 24 - 9 = 15. If you want to check your answer, add 9 + 15. It equals 24, so your answer is correct.
addition and subtraction
for addition you take the sum and subtract one of the numbers being added from it and for subtraction you add the difference with the second number being subtracted so it equals the first number
