What is a Subtrahend in Mathematics?

The term "subtrahend" is not commonly used in mathematics. However, I can infer what you might be asking based on the context of your question.

In arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction, we have two numbers: the minuend (the number being added or subtracted from), and the subtrahend (the number being subtracted).

So, if we're talking about subtraction, the subtrahend would be the number that is being subtracted from the minuend. For example, in the equation 5 - 2 = ?, 2 is the subtrahend and 5 is the minuend.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
