Answer:

addition is subtraction of the opposite, and vice versa

Explanation:

Subtracting an integer is the same as adding its opposite. Likewise, adding an integer is the same as subtracting its opposite.

4 - 3 = 4 + (-3) = 1

4 + (-3) = 4 - 3 = 1

Or, ...

4 - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7

4 + 3 = 4 - (-3) = 7
