Question 10 • Pre-Algebra - MA3119 A ? Distance Learning

Which of the following did you include in your answer? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The additive inverse can be used to change subtraction to addition.
B
The associative and commutative properties are addition properties.
C
Subtraction is not associative or commutative.
D
You can’t change the order or grouping of subtraction and get the same answer.

Explanation

All four statements describe subtraction and addition correctly. Subtraction can be rewritten using an additive inverse, such as 8 − 3 = 8 + (−3). Addition is associative and commutative, but subtraction is generally neither: changing the order or grouping can change the result, as 8 − 3 = 5 while 3 − 8 = −5.
