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)
No. Rearranging numbers [2+3=3+2] is the commutative property. The associative property involves rearranging parentheses - (3 x 4) x 6 = 3 x (4 x 6).
no
The associative property of multiplication. For an example of the associative property, read on. 2 x 3 x 4= 2 x 3 x 4. Simple, huh?
Division (and subtraction, for that matter) is not associative. Here is an example to show that it is not associative: (8/4)/2 = 2/2 = 1 8/(4/2) = 8/2 = 4 Addition and multiplication are the only two arithmetic operations that have the associative property.
The Associative Property in math is how the numbers are associated; ex. 2*(3*4) is the same as (2*3)*4.

( 2 + 7 ) + 10 = ( 7 + 10 ) + 2 ( 3 * 9 ) * 4 = 3 * ( 9 * 4 ) The associative property means you can move the terms of the expression around without changing the value. Multiplication and addition are both associative.

Subtraction and division. While 2+ (3+4) = 2+ (4+3), the subtraction 2-(3-4) ≠ 2-(4-3). One yields 3 while the other yields 1. Similarly, multiplication has this property while division does not.
Commutative means that the order can be changed without affecting the answer. For example, multiplication is commutative but division is not. 2 x 4 = 8 and 4 x 2 = 8 (commutative) 2 / 4 = 1/2 but 4 / 2 = 2 (not commutative) Associative means that the order that two operations is completed can be changed without affecting the answer. (2 x 4) x 3 = 2 x (4 x 3) - (associative)
True. You may not be able to switch numbers like 4-2=2-4 but you would say 4-2=-2+4 * * * * * That is not the associative property! 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 associative property is normally invoked in the context of two (or more) occurances of a binary operation. eg (2*3)*4 = 2*(3*4). Here, you could break down 16 into 2*2*2*2 So that 16*20 = 2*2*2*2*20 which, by the ASSOCIATIVE property can also be written as 2*(2*(2*(2*20))) = 2*(2*(2*(40)) = 2*(2*80) = 2*160 = 320
it's actually spelled "associative" property. But associative is like when you have three or more numbers that associate into just one group and anyway that you add or subtract it will always be the same answer: (2 + 5) + 4 = 11 or 2 + (5 + 4) = 11 (9 + 3) + 4 = 16 or 9 + (3 + 4) = 16
