What is the distributive property of -4x plus 15?
There is no "distributive property" involved in this case. A distributive property always involves two operations, usually multiplication and addition. It states that a(b+c) = ab + ac.There is no "distributive property" involved in this case. A distributive property always involves two operations, usually multiplication and addition.

Is it possible to use the associative property with subtraction?
No. There is a property of numbers called the distributive property that proves this wrong. a- ( b - c) is NOT the same as (a-b) -c because: a-(b-c) = a-b+c by the distributive property a-b+c = (a-b) + c by the definition of () (a-b)+c is not always equal to (a-b)-c
Do equations always have variables?
not always.
Why doesn't the distributive property always work for division?
The distributive property works is defined for multiplication and addition: a (b + c) = ab + ac also: (a + b)c = ac + bc For a division, it works if you can convert it into a multiplication, in a form similar to the above. For example: (10 + 2) / 2 can be converted into a multiplication; in this case, dividing by 2 is equivalent to multiplying by 1/2: (10 + 2) (1/2) = (10 x 1/2) + (2 x 1/2) If the sum is in the divisor, for example: 15 / (1 + 2) then there is no way you can convert it into an equivalent multiplication, which conforms to the forms used for the distributive property.
