Answer:

Adding decimals and subtracting decimals are actually very similar, possibly more than you think. This is because you never move the decimal point. Even when subtracting, you never move it. It is almost treated as if it does not exist. However, when multiplying or divided, alterations are made to the decimal point in the answer. Hope this helped!
