However, for the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we combine all the like terms and then subtract them.<\/p>\n<p>Like terms are the terms that have the same power for the same variables. In like terms, one can only change the numerical coefficient. Terms that have different variables or the same variables raised to different powers are known as, unlike terms.<\/p>\n<p>Word problems that include subtraction of algebraic expressions can be solved with ease if we know how to subtract them. We need to write out an algebraic expression that we can evaluate to find our answer. To write our algebraic expression, we carefully read the problem to figure out what our important numbers are and what kind of operation we are dealing with.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;headingnew&#8221;]Rules[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>There are two methods to do the subtraction of algebraic expressions:<\/strong><br \/>\nHorizontal method of Subtraction of Algebraic Expressions<br \/>\nColumn method for Subtraction of Algebraic Expressions<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horizontal method of Subtraction of Algebraic Expressions<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Write all the expressions in a horizontal line by putting them into brackets and put a subtraction sign in between.<br \/>\n2. Change the subtraction to addition by using the additive inverse.<br \/>\n2. Group all the like terms together from all the expressions and rewrite the expression so formed.<br \/>\n3.

Change the subtraction to addition by using the additive inverse.<br \/>\n2. Write all the expressions one below the other . Make sure to like terms in one column.
