The associative property requires that the order of operation can be changed without affecting the final result. This is clearly not the case with subtraction since:
(5 - 3) - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0
while
5 - (3 - 2) = 5 - 1 = 4
The two answers are different so subtraction is not associative.
yes
* * * * *
NO, there is not!
5 - 3 = 2, while
3 - 5 = -2
No it can not work because not all the numbers have the same results.
no it does not
because it just don't
no
no it does not
Associative property does not work with subtraction because not all numbers can be subtracted and have the same results............
It does not work with subtraction nor division.
No you can not use subtraction or division in the associative property.
because
No it can not.
No, you cannot have subtraction in the associative property of multiplication because the associative property of multiplication is about multiplication. More to the point, if you're asking whether subtraction is associative, the answer is still no. (2 - 3) - 4 does not equal 2 - (3 - 4)
No, the associative property only applies to addition and multiplication, not subtraction or division. Here is an example which shows why it cannot work with subtraction: (6-4)-2=0 6-(4-2)=4
Nope. Its not possible
That would be the associative property. The associative property applies to addition and multiplication, but not to subtraction or division.
associative, distributive * * * * * That, I am afraid, is utter rubbish. A - (B - C) = A - B + C whereas (A - B) - C = A - B - C These two are NOT equal so the associative property does not hold. Subtraction does not have the distributine property, it is multiplication that has that property with regard to subtraction: A*(B - C) = A*B - A*C
Try it! You will probably get a negative number...
