Document Summary
Whole number : = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } 2. 1. 3 subtraction of whole numbers subtraction of whole numbers: for any whole numbers a and b such that a b, a b is the unique whole number c such that b + c = a. Using the definition, 4 7 is the whole number c, if and only if c + 7 = 4. Since there is no whole number c that satisfies the equation, 4 7 is not meaningful in a set of whole numbers. Therefore, subtraction is not closed on the set of whole numbers. Since 7 4 = and 4 7 is not meaningful, subtraction of whole numbers is not commutative. 2. 1. 5 introductory algebra using whole number addition and subtraction. Math 111 winter 2012 solution: value used to make an equation true. 2. 2 algorithm for whole number addition and subtraction.
