What are the similarities and differences between addition and subtraction?

I need help with my math homework. I need to make a chart that has the similarities and differences between addition and subtraction. Here’s what I have so far:

Addition:
Adding a number to another number
Answer is the sum

Subtraction:
Taking away a number from another number
Answer is the difference
Yes, I do understand they are not really related, but I need SOMETHING to write for similarities. ANYTHYNG!!!

Addition combines two numbers or values. Subtraction tells you how far apart they are on the number line. The two are really quite unrelated.
