Question

Associative property does not hold good for subtraction. Verify the given sentence through
the help of the given example: - 17 – 6 – 4

Answer 1

According to associative property,

(a+b)+c=a+(b+c);(a*b)*c=a*(b*c)

For subtraction it is not true as=

(-17-6)-4                   -17-(6-7)

=-27                          =-18

As LHS is not equal to RHS, hence proved.
