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.
When you subtract one number from another, the result is called the difference. This term makes sense when you think about it: When you subtract, you find out the difference between a higher number and a lower one. In subtraction, the first number is called the minuend, and the second number is called the subtrahend.
