1 1.3 Subtraction 1.3 OBJECTIVES 1. Use the language of subtraction 2. Subtract whole numbers without borrowing 3. Solve applications of simple subtraction 4. Use borrowing in subtracting whole numbers 5. Solve applications that require borrowing Overcoming Math Anxiety Hint #3 Don t procrastinate! 1. Do your math homework while you re still fresh. If you wait until too late at night, your tired mind will have all that much more difficulty understanding the concepts. 2. Do your homework the day it is assigned. The more recent the explanation is, the easier it is to recall. 3. When you ve finished your homework, try reading the next section through once. This will give you a sense of direction when you next hear the material. This works whether you are in a lecture or lab setting. Remember that, in a typical math class, you are expected to do two or three hours of homework for each weekly class hour. This means two or three hours per night. Schedule the time and stay to your schedule. NOTE By opposite we mean that subtracting a number undoes an addition of that same number. Start with 1. Add 5 and then subtract 5. Where are you? We are now ready to consider a second operation of arithmetic subtraction. In Section 1.2, we described addition as the process of combining two or more groups of the same kind of objects. Subtraction can be thought of as the opposite operation to addition. Every arithmetic operation has its own notation. The symbol for subtraction,, is called a minus sign. When we write 8 5, we wish to subtract 5 from 8. We call 5 the subtrahend. This is the number being subtracted. And 8 is the minuend. This is the number we are subtracting from. The difference is the result of the subtraction. To find the difference of two numbers, we will assume that we wish to subtract the smaller number from the larger. Then we look for a number which, when added to the smaller number, will give us the larger number. For example, because This special relationship between addition and subtraction provides a method of checking subtraction. Rules and Properties: Relationship Between Addition and Subtraction The sum of the difference and the subtrahend must be equal to the minuend. 29
2 30 CHAPTER 1 OPERATIONS ON WHOLE NUMBERS Example 1 Subtracting a Single-Digit Number Check: Our check works because 12 5 asks for the number that must be added to 5 to get 12. Difference Subtrahend Minuend CHECK YOURSELF 1 Subtract, and check your work The procedure for subtracting larger whole numbers is similar to the procedure for addition. We subtract digits of the same place value. Example 2 Subtracting a Larger Number Step 1 Step 2 Step To check: Add We subtract in the ones column, then in the tens column, and finally in the hundreds column. The sum of the difference and the subtrahend must be the minuend. CHECK YOURSELF 2 Subtract, and check your work You know that the word difference indicates subtraction. There are other words that also tell you to use the subtraction operation. For instance, 5 less than 12 is written as 12 5or7 20 decreased by 8 is written as 20 8or12
3 SUBTRACTION SECTION Example 3 Translating Words That Indicate Subtraction Find each of the following. (a) 4 less than 11 4 less than 11 is written (b) 27 decreased by 6 27 decreased by 6 is written CHECK YOURSELF 3 Find each of the following. (a) 6 less than 19 (b) 18 decreased by 3 Units Analysis This is the first in a series of essays that are designed to help you solve applications of mathematics. Questions in the exercise sets will require the skills that you build by reading these essays. A number with a unit attached (like 7 feet or 26 mpg) is called a denominate number. Any genuine application of mathematics will involve denominate numbers. When adding or subtracting denominate numbers, the units must be identical for both numbers. The sum or difference will have those same units. Examples: $4 $9 $13 (notice that, although we write the dollar sign first, we read it after the quantity, as in four dollars ) 7 feet 9 feet 16 feet 39 degrees 12 degrees 27 degrees 7 feet 12 degrees yields no meaningful answer! 3 feet 9 inches yields a meaningful result only if the 3 feet is converted into 36 inches. We will discuss conversion of units in later essays. Now we consider subtraction word problems. The strategy is the same one presented in Section 1.2 for addition word problems. It is summarized with the following four basic steps. Step by Step: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Solving Subtraction Applications Read the problem carefully to determine the given information and what you are asked to find. Decide upon the operation (in this case, subtraction) to be used. Write down the complete statement necessary to solve the problem and do the calculations. Check to make sure you have answered the question of the problem and that your answer seems reasonable.
4 32 CHAPTER 1 OPERATIONS ON WHOLE NUMBERS Let s work an example using these steps. Example 4 Setting Up a Subtraction Word Problem Tory has $37 in his wallet. He is thinking about buying a $24 pair of pants and a $10 shirt. If he buys them both, how much money will he have? First we must add the cost of the pants and the shirt. $24 $10 $34 Now, that amount must be subtracted from the $37. $37 $34 $3 He will have $3 left. CHECK YOURSELF 4 Sonya has $97 left in her checking account. If she writes checks for $12, $32, and $21, how much will she have in the account? Difficulties can arise in subtraction if one or more of the digits of the subtrahend are larger than the corresponding digits in the minuend. We will solve this problem by using a process called borrowing. First, we ll look at an example in expanded form. Example 5 Subtracting When Borrowing Is Needed Do you see that we cannot subtract in the ones column? Regrouping, we borrow 1 ten in the minuend and write that ten as 10 ones: 50 2 becomes or We now have We can now subtract as before or 25 In practice, we will use a more convenient short form for the subtraction We indicate the fact that we have borrowed 1 ten by putting a slash through the 5 and then writing 4 tens. Add 10 ones to the original 2 ones to get 12 ones. We 27 can then subtract. 25 Check:
5 SUBTRACTION SECTION CHECK YOURSELF 5 Subtract, and check your work Let s work through another subtraction example that will require a number of borrowing steps. Here, zero appears as a digit in the minuend. Example 6 Subtracting When Borrowing Is Needed 4 1 Step In this first step we borrow 1 ten. This is written as 10 ones and combined with the original 3 ones. We can then subtract in the ones column. NOTE Here we borrow 1 thousand; this is written as 10 hundreds. Step We must borrow again to subtract in the tens column. There are no hundreds, and so we move to the thousands column. NOTE We now borrow 1 hundred; this is written as 10 tens and combined with the remaining 4 tens. Step The minuend is now renamed as 3 thousands, 9 hundreds, 14 tens, and 13 ones. Step The subtraction can now be completed. To check our subtraction: CHECK YOURSELF 6 Subtract, and check your work You will need to use both addition and subtraction to solve some problems, as Example 7 illustrates. Example 7 Solving a Subtraction Application Bernard wants to buy a new piece of stereo equipment. He has $142 and can trade in his old amplifier for $135. How much more does he need if the new equipment costs $449?
6 34 CHAPTER 1 OPERATIONS ON WHOLE NUMBERS First we must add to find out how much money Bernard has available. Then we subtract to find out how much more money he needs. $142 $135 $277 The money available to Bernard $449 $277 $172 The money Bernard still needs CHECK YOURSELF 7 Martina spent $239 in airfare, $174 for lodging, and $108 for food on a business trip. Her company allowed her $375 for the expenses. How much of these expenses will she have to pay herself? CHECK YOURSELF ANSWERS (a) 13; (b) $32 Check: To check: Check: $239 $ $146 $521 Total expenses Total expenses Amount allowed

13 Using a Scientific Calculator to Subtract NOTE Particularly after working with borrowing in subtraction, you may be tempted to use your calculator for problems besides the ones in these special calculator sections. NOTE Remember, the point is to brush up on your arithmetic skills by hand, along with learning to use the calculator in a variety of situations. Now that you have reviewed the process of subtracting by hand, let s look at the use of the calculator in performing that operation. To compute 56 29, follow the indicated calculator steps. 1. Press the clear key. 2. Enter the first number Press the minus key. 4. Enter the second number Press the equals key. The display shows 27 C The difference, 27, will now be in the display. The calculator can be very helpful in a problem that involves both addition and subtraction operations. Example 1 Using a Scientific Calculator to Subtract NOTE As with addition, the same steps are used on a graphing calculator, except we press ENTER rather than. Find Enter the numbers and the operation signs exactly as they appear in the expression Display 37 An alternative approach would be to add 23 and 56 first and then subtract 13 and 29. The result is the same in either case. CHECK YOURSELF 1 Find CHECK YOURSELF ANSWERS
