SECTION IV.

SUBTRACTION.

Art. 34. Since 6 units and 4 units are 10 units, 10 units are 4 units greater than 6 units, or 6 units are 4 units less than 10 units; also,

Since 12 units are 4 units more than 8 units, or 8 units are 4 units less than 12 units, 4 units is the difference of any two numbers one of which contains 4 units more or less than the other, hence

35. The Difference of two numbers is the number of units which one of the numbers is greater or less than the other.

Thus, 4 is the difference of 9 and 5.

36. Subtraction is the process of obtaining the difference of two numbers.

37. The terms employed in subtraction are minuend, subtrahend and difference.

38. The Minuend is the larger of the two numbers whose difference is required, and is the number to be diminished by the operation of subtraction.

Thus, 7-3-4, 7 is the minuend.

39. The Subtrahend is the less of the two numbers whose difference is required, and is the number to be subtracted from the minuend.

Thus, 7-3-4, 3 is the subtrahend.

40. The Sign of Subtraction is -, called minus. When placed between two numbers it denotes that the
