Question

3. Is
substraction commutative in
inlegess? Justify your answer ​

Answer 1

Subtraction is not commutativefor integers, this means that when we change the order of integers in subtractionexpression, the result also changes.

Answer 2

Subtraction is not commutative for integers.

When we change the order of integers in subtraction, the answer will not be the same.

eg: consider the integers 5 and -12

commutative property : a - b should be equal to b - a

5 - (-12) = 5 + 12 = 17

-12 -5 = -17

17 is not equal to -17

Therefore, subtraction is not commutative for integers.
