➦subtraction is not commutative for the order of the numbers in the subtraction does matter

We know that, the Commutative property or commutative law states that the result of a mathematical operation remains the same even when the order of the operands are reversed. Commutative property does not hold good for all the four basic Mathematical operations. However, it is true for addition and multiplication operations. The sum of two numbers and the product of two numbers remain the same even if the order of the numbers are interchanged. However, the difference between the two numbers and quotients of two numbers are not the same when the order of the numbers is changed. So, subtraction and division operations do not satisfy the commutative law.

For example:

6 + 3 = 9 and 3 + 6 = 9

6 x 3 = 18 and 3 x 6 = 18

6 - 3 = 3 and 3 - 6 = - 3

6 ÷ 3 = 2 and 3 ÷ 6 = ½
