//The first value is the minuend. The second value (the one you are subtracting) is called the subtrahend. The answer in a subtraction problem is called the difference. Actually, you probably should remember that the answer to a subtraction problem is called the difference.//
I disagree tat. The sum of 12 and 6 is 18. The product of 12 and 6 is 72 the quotient of 12 and 6 is 2 and (now I know) the difference of 12 and 6 is six
just refering to when at school we did a blackboard full of "sums", they had sums of the 4 main operations. Yes Sum does mean addition too, it also means an amount.
//Addition operations are denoted by the + sign. The addition operator (plus sign) will take any two numbers, called addends, as operands to work on. The result is called the sum of the two numbers.//
