Why are subtraction addition multiplication division called reciprocal or inverse operations?
The inverse operation of addition would be subtraction. The inverse operation of subtraction would be addition. The inverse operation of multiplication is division and the inverse operation of division is multiplication. It is called the inverse operation because you are reversing the equation. If you add, subtract, multiply, or divide the same number on each side of the equation, then the equation would still be true. As long as you are doing the same thing on BOTH side of the equation. The reciprocal is used for dividing fractions. All you have to do for finding the reciprocal of a fraction is flip the fraction. Ex: The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4. The reciprocal of 5/8 is 8/5. You can check by multiplying the two fractions. It will equal to one if you did it right. I hope this helped a little bit.
Is multiplication before division in order of operations?
"Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction." Therefore multiplication and division are equal.

What is done first when you use the order of operations?
The operation is P.E.M.D.A.S., and each letter stands for an operation to use. P - parentheses, E - exponents, M - multiplication, D - division (multiplication and division are equal...so it doesn't matter which direction it is in. This is the same for addition and subtraction), A - addition, S - subtraction. I hope this helped :-)

How is subtraction like division?
It's basically the same concept. Like subtraction is the opposite of addition, and division is the opposite of multiplication. Just the reverse. Kind of hard to explain.... ask your teacher!
Can you have subtraction in associative property of multiplication?
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)
