Subtracting numbers is one of the basic operations in math.
Firstly,
the order of operations is as follows: PEMDAS or parentheses,
exponents, multiplication, division, addition, then subtraction.
All of these are done in the exact order given above.
For example, given the equation (4 x 7) + (6 / 2) - 3^2 = ?
1. Parentheses
- Solve the equations within the parentheses first.
(4 x 7) + (6 / 2) - 3^2 = 28 + 3 - 3^2
2. Exponents
- Second, if there are any exponents, solve this.
28 + 3 - 3^2 = 28 + 3 - 9
3. Mulltiplication
4. Division
5. Addition
28 + 3 - 9 = 31 - 9
6. Subtraction
31 - 9 = 22
Answer: 22.
Hope this helps.
