Question

Check the commutative property for subtraction of whole numbers. Justify with examples if it is true or false.​

Answer 1

Commutative property of whole numbers

Let the whole numbers be 2 and 3

Therefore,

according to commutative property of substraction :-

a-b = b-a

Taking a as 2 and b as 3

So, LHS = 2-3

2-3 = -1

RHS = 3-2

3-2 = 1

Since, LHS ≠ RHS

Hence prooved that commutative property for subtraction of whole numbers is not supported
