because
(5 - 8) - 4 = -7 5 - (8 - 4) = 1
yes it does work for subtraction
No.
doesnt work
no it does not
Associative property does not work with subtraction because not all numbers can be subtracted and have the same results............
It does not work with subtraction nor division.
because
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
There is no property which allows you to do that in all cases. It is only possible in the case of the associative property for addition and multiplication. It does not work for subtraction or division.
(5 - 8) - 4 = -7 5 - (8 - 4) = 1
The associative property requires that the order of operation can be changed without affecting the final result. This is clearly not the case with subtraction since: (5 - 3) - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0 while 5 - (3 - 2) = 5 - 1 = 4 The two answers are different so subtraction is not associative.
