Other names for subtraction include "minus," "take away," "difference," and "decrease." These terms all refer to the operation of finding the result when one quantity is removed from another. Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition, and it is denoted by the "-" symbol.

Oh, dude, subtraction is like the fancy way of saying "take away." It's like when you have a bunch of stuff, and you're like, "I don't want this much stuff anymore." So, you subtract some stuff and bam, you're left with less stuff. It's like math's way of decluttering.

Well, honey, you can call subtraction "taking away," "minus," or "difference." It's like cleaning out your closet - you're getting rid of stuff you don't want anymore. So, go ahead and subtract those numbers like a boss!
