To subtract 7 from 13 we add $ \ldots \ldots . $ to 13.


Given:

Subtract 7 from 13.
To do:

We have to find the number that we need to add to 13 to get the same value  as when we subtract 7 from 13.

Solution:

Subtracting 7 from 13, we get,

$13-7=6$

Let the number to be added to 13 to get the same value  as when we subtract 7 from 13 be $x$.

This implies,

$x+13=6$

$x=6-13$

$x=-7$

Therefore, we need to add $-7$ to $13$ to subtract $7$ from $13$.
