👉 In mathematics, a counterterm is an addition or subtraction of two terms that cancels out the effect of one another. This operation can be seen as a mathematical shorthand for solving problems by isolating and manipulating variables. For example, in the equation x + y = 10, if we add -x to both sides, we eliminate the term with x on one side of the equation, leaving us with y = 10. Similarly, if we subtract y from both sides, we
