What the formula for subtracting multiple columns?

Ex. Hours Work - Lunch - SickTime - Vacation = Total
9 1 3 0 Total

One way is to sum up all the bits to be subtracted, then just subtract from
the 1st figure

Example, in E2: =A2-SUM(B2:D2)
where B2:D2 houses all the items to be subtracted from A2
