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
