Not by itself. A mathematical operation has properties in the context of a set over which it is defined. It is possible to have a set over which properties are not valid.
Having said that, the set of rational numbers is closed under subtraction, as is the set of real numbers or complex numbers.
Multiplication is distributive over subtraction.
Yes.
Addition is the inverse operation to subtraction.
Subtraction
Subtraction can be seen as the inverse operation to addition.
addition
Subtraction and addition are not properties of numbers themselves: they are operators that can be defined on sets of numbers.
division, multiplication, addition and subtraction
An inverse operation reverses an affect of another operation. Addition is the inverse operation of subtraction. So are multiplication and subtraction.
The words "decreased by" suggest the operation of subtraction.
Addition is the inverse operation to subtraction.
Subtraction
Subtraction can be seen as the inverse operation to addition.
Because subtraction is addition and division is multiplication. So, subtraction would fall under the properties of addition and division would come under the properties of multiplication.
adative inverse
Inverse means opposite. What undoes subtraction? Addition undoes subtraction!
1. subtraction 2. all mathematical operations 3. multiplication 4.division has no inverse operation
Subtraction is definitely an operation defined on real numbers. I'm guessing you are actually asking why subtraction is not included as a commutative operation, this is because a-b is not always equal to b-a.
