shortage Why can't producers increase supply if there is a sudden increase in demand? you would have to increase the price as well because otherwise it would cost too much to increase supply
Subtraction. In subtraction, a subtrahend is subtracted from a minuend to find a difference. In the following equation, 9 is the minuend, 3 is the subtrahend, and 6 is the difference.
Sum is to difference as addition is to subtraction. There is a similar relationship between product and quotient, with respect to multiplication and division. The sum of [math]a[/math] and [math]b[/math] is obtained by finding the value of [math]a+b[/math]. The difference of [math]a[/math] and [math]b[/math] is obtained by finding the value of [math]a-b[/math].
