Addition and subtraction

Addition and subtraction are two primary arithmetic operations in Maths. Besides these two operations, multiplication and division are also two primary operations that we learn in basic Maths. 

The addition represents the values added to the existing value. For example, a basket has two balls, and if we add more than 2 balls to it, there will be four balls in total. Similarly, if there are four balls in a basket and if we take out two balls out of it, then the basket is left with only two balls, which shows subtraction.

Addition and subtraction are not only used for integers but also rational numbers and irrational numbers. Therefore, both the operations are applicable for all real numbers and complex numbers. Also, the addition and subtraction algebraic expressions are done based on the same rules while performing algebraic operations.
