Answer 2

If 1 is subtracted from a number, the difference is the predecessor of that particular number.

Given : If 1 is subtracted from a number.

To find : The relationship between the difference and the main number.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to determine the required relationship)

Let, a number = x

By, subtracting 1 from the number, we get :

= (x - 1)

Now, it is obvious that (x-1) comes just before x. Which implies, (x-1) is predecessor of x.

Real example :

• Taking the number 9
• Subtracting 1 from the number, (9-1) = 8
• 8 comes just before 9 and we know 8 is the predecessor of 9

Hence, if 1 is subtracted from a number, the difference is the predecessor of that particular number.
