My Python project where i used return keyword

hello everyone creig was teaching return keyword in python basics so i thought to build one calculator plz everyone can someone help me to reduce the code a little bit more this was my first project in python basics i am very happy i build it on my own

def add(first,second):
    answer = first + second
    return answer

def subtract(first,second):
    answer = first - second
    return answer

def multiply(first,second):
    answer = first * second
    return answer

def divide(first,second):
    answer = first // second
    return answer

def solve(way):
    first = int(input("Type ur first number? "))
    second = int(input("Type ur second number? "))
    x = way(first,second)
    return x


print("1 = Addition")
print("2 = Subtraction") 
print("3 = Multiplication")
print("4 = Division")
question = int(input("What u wanna do? "))

if question == 1:
    addition = solve(add)
    print("Your Answer is {}".format(addition))
elif question == 2:
    subtraction = solve(subtract)
    print("Your Answer is {}".format(subtraction))
elif question == 3:
    multiplication = solve(multiply)
    print("Your Answer is {}".format(multiplication))
elif question == 4:
    division = solve(divide)
