How do you check subtraction with addition?

People generally find subtraction harder (and easier to make mistakes in) than addition, so we most often use addition to check subtraction; but you can check addition by doing the opposite subtraction if you find that necessary. More often you would check addition by adding in a different order.

What are the properties of addition and subtraction?

Inverse Operations. In addition to the properties that affect addition and subtraction separately, addition and subtraction also relate to each other. They are inverse operations, which is similar to saying that addition and subtraction are opposites.

How do you borrow subtraction?

Subtract 1 from the top number in the column directly to the left. Cross out the number you’re borrowing from, subtract 1, and write the answer above the number you crossed out. Add 10 to the top number in the column you were working in. For example, suppose you want to subtract 386 – 94.
