http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction The traditional names for the parts of the formula<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula>
*c* - *b* = *a*
are *minuend* (*c*) - *subtrahend* (*b*) = *difference* (*a*). The words "minuend" and "subtrahend" are uncommon in modern usage.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction#cite_note-0> Instead we say that *c** and -b are terms, and treat subtraction as addition of the additive inverse <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_inverse>.* The answer is still called the *difference*.
