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.
Subtraction in mathematics means you are taking something away from a group or number of things. When you subtract, what is left in the group becomes less. An example of a subtraction problem is the following: 5 - 3 = 2. Notice that there are three parts to the subtraction problem shown. The part you start with is called the minuend.
