subtraction

Read a random definition: enabling disclosure

A quick definition of subtraction:

Subtraction is when you take away one number from another number to find out how much is left. For example, if you have 5 apples and you give away 2, you have done subtraction and you now have 3 apples left. Subtraction is also a word used in history to describe when someone did not do something they were supposed to do, like pay rent or do a job they were hired for. This is also called neglecting a duty or service.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Subtraction is the process of finding the difference between two numbers by deducting one number from another.

Example: If you have 10 apples and you give away 3, you can find out how many apples you have left by subtracting 3 from 10. The answer is 7.

Historical Example: In the past, subtraction was also used to describe the act of neglecting a duty or service that one party owes to another, especially one that arises out of land tenure. For example, if a tenant failed to perform a duty or service that they owed to their landlord, such as paying rent or maintaining the property, this was considered a form of subtraction.

Explanation: The first example illustrates the mathematical concept of subtraction, where one number is deducted from another to find the difference. The historical example shows how the term subtraction was used in a legal context to describe a specific type of injury or harm that could be remedied through legal action.
