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.

Why isn't there an identity property of subtraction?
Because you can do the same with the Identity Property of Addition. Here's an example: 5 + 0 = 5 5 - 0 = 5 The same goes for multiplication/division.
What is the difference between Identity Property Commutative Property Associative Property Distributive Property?
These are properties of algebraic structures with binary operations such as addition and/or subtraction defined on the set.The identity property, refers to a unique element of the set with special properties with respect to an operation.The commutative property states that the order of the operands does not matter. There are many algebraic structures where this property does not hold. The set of numbers with the operation subtraction or division do not have this property.The associative property states that the order in which a repeated operation is carried out does not matter.The distributive property is applicable when there are two binary operations defined on the set.

Does the distributive property work for subtraction?
yes
What is subtraction property?
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
