Question

The associative property of subtraction of integers does not hold well.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Let us consider$7,6and4$ three integers.

$$\begin{gathered} 7-(6-4)=6-(4-7) \\ \Rightarrow 7-2=6-(-3) \\ \Rightarrow 7-2=6+3 \\ \Rightarrow 5\ne 9 \end{gathered}$$

L.H.S is not equal to R.H.S

Hence, the associative property of subtraction does not hold well for integers.
