2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   If each subtraction is replaced with addition of the opposite (additive inverse), then the associative and commutative laws of addition allow terms to be added in any order. The radical symbol ⁠ t {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\vphantom {t}}}} ⁠ is traditionally extended by a bar (called vinculum ) over the radicand (this avoids the need for ...

   The addition of two numbers is expressed with the plus sign (+). [6] It is performed according to these rules: The order in which the addends are added does not affect the sum. This is known as the commutative property of addition. (a + b) and (b + a) produce the same output. [7] [8]

   Addition also obeys rules concerning related operations such as subtraction and multiplication. Performing addition is one of the simplest numerical tasks to do. Addition of very small numbers is accessible to toddlers; the most basic task, 1 + 1 , can be performed by infants as young as five months, and even some members of other animal species.

5. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   Subtraction is the inverse of addition. In it, one number, known as the subtrahend, is taken away from another, known as the minuend. The result of this operation is called the difference. The symbol of subtraction is . [47] Examples are = and =. Subtraction is often treated as a special case of addition: instead of subtracting a positive ...

6. Subtraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

   Subtraction also obeys predictable rules concerning related operations, such as addition and multiplication. All of these rules can be proven, starting with the subtraction of integers and generalizing up through the real numbers and beyond. General binary operations that follow these patterns are studied in abstract algebra.

7. Number line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_line

   The order of the natural numbers shown on the number line. A number line is a graphical representation of a straight line that serves as spatial representation of numbers, usually graduated like a ruler with a particular origin point representing the number zero and evenly spaced marks in either direction representing integers, imagined to extend infinitely.
