Can subtraction be use as a associative property?
Nope. Its not possible
Why axiom of subtraction not exist?
In science and mathematics one objective is to be as parsimonious as possible. This means that we try to develop theories using as few basic ideas as possible. Although subtraction is a convenient part of language we don't need it in mathematics because it can be thought of as negative subtraction. This is an example of parsimony.

It is possible to have a set over which properties are not valid.Having said that, the set of rational numbers is closed under subtraction, as is the set of real numbers or complex numbers.Multiplication is distributive over subtraction.
