. What is number line subtraction

Best Answer

Subtraction on a number line allows to subtract smaller numbers very easily. While subtracting numbers on a number of lines, we want to jump (move) towards the left-hand side of a number of line. We usually start with the minuend and move toward the left in line with the number given as the subtrahend. 'Minuend' is the number from which we subtract and 'subtrahend' is the number that is subtracted.
