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