22. The principle upon which Subtraction is performed in Algebra is this :-Subtracting a positive quantity is the same as adding a negative quantity; and Subtracting a negative quantity is the same as adding a positive quantity.

This may be understood from the illustration given in page 7 for taking a man's property to be a positive quantity, and his debts to be negative quantities, it is clear that to take 101. of property away is the same in effect as to add 107. to his debts; and to take away a debt of 101. is the same in effect as to add 10l. to his property.

And generally to subtract + a

is the same as to add

Also to subtract

is the same as to add

+ a

Hence is derived the Rule for Subtraction of Algebraical quantities.

RULE.

Change the signs of all the quantities to be subtracted, and then proceed as in Addition.

Ex. (1.) Subtract a+b-c from 2a+b+3c.

Working. The quantities to be subtracted are +a, +b, and −c; changing their signs they become -a, -b, and +c;

and writing them as now changed under the other line, we have to add together the two lines :

Note. At first the beginner should be very careful to write down the lower line with changed signs as in the above examples. After he is perfectly sure of the rule, the trouble of writing the lower line with changed signs may be spared: it will be sufficient for him to conceive the signs to be changed, and then to proceed as in addition.
