"Add" or "added" means addition. Of course, you may have to subtract to actually solve the problem. If the question is: "How much is added to 5 to get 7", that means 5 + "how much" = 7; but to actually calculate the "how much", you subtract 7 - 5.

If you subtract a negative from a positive what do you get?
if you subtract a negative from a positive, you get a positive. subtracting a negative number is like addition, because the subtraction of a "negative," or opposite, results in a "double negative..." For example, 2 - (-5) = 7. It is no coincidence that a "negative" sign and a "subtraction" sign look the same...THEY MEAN THE SAME THING. In terms of money, with which we are all familiar, subtracting a negative is like subtracting a debt. For example, if you borrow $50 to buy a game, your account balance is "-50" because you owe that much money. However, if you pay off $5 a week, after the first week, you've subtracted $5 from the debt that you owe... - 50 - (-5) = 45. Even if you need to rewrite the subtraction problem so that it appears as an addition problem (then to which you can apply the rules for adding numbers with like & different signs), change the subtraction sign to addition, and switch the sign of the second number. {Ex: 2 - (-8) = 2 + (+8) = 10}. Pretend you're in English class... we even use "double negatives" in our everyday speech, where we negate what was just said... Ex: "we will not be having 'no homework tonight.'") In other words, sharpen your pencils, because there is, indeed, an assignment. When subtracting a negative, it's like taking the "opposite of the opposite..." which has you winding up right where you started... the opposite of a negative is a positive, so you add the positive number

How can you explain subtraction?
You can either explain it as "taking away" something, or as the inverse of addition, as in "how much do I need to add, to get such-and-such a result".
How can use subtraction to check addition with mixed numbers?
Subtraction is the opposite operation to addition, so can be used to check an addition by subtracting one of the addends (numbers being added together) from the total obtained to see if the other addend results. This can be used with any two addends including mixed numbers. Working with mixed numbers is often much easier (especially for multiplication and division) by converting them first to improper fractions, doing the operations and converting any resultant improper fraction back to a mixed number.

Why do we start from addition and substraction when learning math?
Addition and subtraction are the core to most math. Even Children who don't know math can add and subtract. Addition is the mathematical concept of putting things together to form a greater amount. Subtraction is the opposite. Subtracting one thing from another is the same as taking some things away from a group. So the children can know how much they got compared to others and how much has been taken from them.

What can mutation change?
Mutations can cause changes in DNA/RNA etc etc.. A mutation can cause the addition or subtraction of a base.. (A C G T or U) (addition or subtraction is extremely destructive, normally resulting in the destruction of the affected cell) Or it can also Switch one base for another.. (a much less destructive mutation, sometimes not even changing anything) :) hope that helps Redlantern33
