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

Is subtraction an identity property?
Subtraction is not an identity property but it does have an identity property. The identity is 0 and each number is its own inverse with respect to subtraction. However, this is effectively the same as the inverse property of addition so there is no real need to define it as a separate property.
Does the distributive property work for subtraction?
yes
What is the definition of subtraction property of inequality?
somthing
Can you apply the associative property to subtraction?
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
The Commutative Property does not work for which operations?
Addition and multiplication
Can you use the Associative Property with subtraction and division?
No you can not use subtraction or division in the associative property.
Does the communitive property work with subtraction?
yes it does work for subtraction

No.
Properties used to solve equation?
Addition and subtraction property of equalityMultiplication and division property of equalityDistributive property of multiplication over additionAlso,Identity property of multiplicationZero property of addition and subtraction.
What does the distributive property mean in subtraction?
The distributive property is defined in the context of two operations. You have only one (subtraction) in the question.
Does commutative property hold in subtraction?
No.
Does associative property work with subtraction?
no it does not
Does commutative property apply to subtraction?
