3 cube root , & c . difference between two numbers when it is either not known , or not necessary to state , which is the greater . Thus , 5 + 3 , denotes that 3 is to be added to 5 . 6 · 2 , denotes that 2 is to be taken from 6 .

The reason of this method of proof is evident ; for if the difference of two numbers be added to the less , it must manifestly make up a sum equal to the greater , * The reason of this rule is the same as MULTIPLICATION . 9.
