Worksheet Overview

Addition and Subtraction are closely linked.

 

From any addition fact, we can normally also get two subtraction facts.

 

Look at the addition fact:

 

3 + 5 = 8.

 

From this we can get the two subtraction facts:

 

8 - 5 = 3

8 - 3 = 5

 

This works with all numbers, even bigger ones.

 

Example

Complete the two subtraction facts from the following addition fact, to work out the values of A and B.

21 + 68 = 89

 

89 - 68 = A

89 - 21 = B

 

Answer

Look at the addition fact:

 

21 + 68 = 89.

 

From this we can get the two subtraction facts:

 

89 - 68 = 21

89 - 21 = 68

 

So we have shown that:

 

A = 21

B = 68
