In terms of addition the symbol −b is called the additive inverse of b with the property that the sum of a number and its inverse equals 0, or b+(−b)=0. It follows that −(−b)=b. The subtraction of b from a is the same as the addition of a and the inverse of b, or a−b=a+(−b); e.g., when a=10 and b=5, then 10−5=10+(−5).subtraction[səb′trak·shən] (mathematics) The addition of one quantity with the negative of another; in a system with an additive operation this is formally the sum of one element with the additive inverse of another. subtraction
