Question

Is the commutative property hold good in case of subtraction? Give

your answer with the help of an example.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtraction is not commutative. For example, 4 − 7 does not have the same difference as 7 − 4. The − sign here means subtraction. However, recall that 4 − 7 can be rewritten as 4 + (−7), since subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite.

Answer 2

Answer:

Commutative property is not under subtraction because the rule of commutative property is - no matter in which order you add or multiply the result is same.

a + b = b + a also a x b = b x a

Example :- 4+3 = 7, 3+4 = 7

4x3 = 12, 3x4 = 12

But in case of subtraction :- a-b is not equal to b-a

Example :- 9-7 = 2 but 7-9 = -2 which is a integer not whole number.

So commutative property is not under subtraction.
