It means that in an addition such as: a + b + c it doesn't matter whether you do the addition on the left, or the addition on the right, first. Similar for multiplication.
The associative property means that in a sum (for example), (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3). In other words, you can add on the left first, or on the right first, and get the same result. Similar for multiplication. How you use this in an equation depends on the equation.

Multiplication is successive Addition Division is successive subtraction
That means that subtracting the same value or expression from both sides of an equation is a valid operation, in the sense that the new equation will have the same solution set. The definitions of "addition property...", "multiplication property..." and "division property..." are similar; with the main caveat that you may not multiply or divide by zero.

Mainly that in both cases, the numbers can be changed, in any order. This is related to the commucative property, as well as the associative property, which apply to both. - Also, in both cases there is a neutral element (0 for addition, 1 for multiplication).
It means that FOR CERTAIN OPERATIONS, you can start at the left or at the right, and get the same results. In the case of addition of real numbers, in symbols, you have:(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) An example with specific numbers: (20 + 10) + 5 = 20 + (10 + 5) Similar for multiplication of real numbers. Parentheses mean that you should do the operation inside the parentheses first.

Usually, the identity of addition property is defined to be an axiom (which only specifies the existence of zero, not uniqueness), and the zero property of multiplication is a consequence of existence of zero, existence of an additive inverse, distributivity of multiplication over addition and associativity of addition. Proof of 0 * a = 0: 0 * a = (0 + 0) * a [additive identity] 0 * a = 0 * a + 0 * a [distributivity of multiplication over addition] 0 * a + (-(0 * a)) = (0 * a + 0 * a) + (-(0 * a)) [existence of additive inverse] 0 = (0 * a + 0 * a) + (-(0 * a)) [property of additive inverses] 0 = 0 * a + (0 * a + (-(0 * a))) [associativity of addition] 0 = 0 * a + 0 [property of additive inverses] 0 = 0 * a [additive identity] A similar proof works for a * 0 = 0 (with the other distributive law if commutativity of multiplication is not assumed).
Provided the domains are defined in an appropriate manner, subtraction is the inverse operation of addition while division is the inverse operation of multiplication.

Within parentheses or similar symbols, the same rules apply as when you don't have parentheses. For example, multiplication and division have a higher priority (or precedence) than addition and subtraction.Within parentheses or similar symbols, the same rules apply as when you don't have parentheses.

The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that you get the same result from multiplying the sum as you do from summing the individual multiples. In algebraic form, X*(Y + Z) = X*Y +X*Z and, as an example, 2*(3+4) = 2*7 = 14 = 6 + 8 = 2*3 + 2*4 The distributive property of multiplication over subtraction is defined in a similar fashion.
Multiplication is simply a shortcut for repeated addition of the same number.For example, 4 x 2 is the same as 2 + 2 + 2 + 2(two added to itself, four times).
