No, you cannot have subtraction in the associative property of multiplication because the associative property of multiplication is about multiplication. More to the point, if you're asking whether subtraction is associative, the answer is still no. (2 - 3) - 4 does not equal 2 - (3 - 4)

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

Subtraction is neither commutative property or association property because commutative property of multiplication is when you change the order of the factors the product stays the same and it isn't associated property because you can change the grouping of the factors the product stays the same you can't do that first attraction it wouldn't work it would be a negative zero.
