Explanation Consider the associative property. Associative property states that the order of the grouping of the numbers need not be considered. Associative property in general holds true for addition and multiplication. It does not hold true for subtraction, this can be proved by an example, Consider any three real numbers, 2 , 4 , 6 . Then the associative property of subtraction for these three real numbers is: 2 − ( 4 − 6 ) = ( 2 − 4 ) − 6 Evaluate both the sides and check if they are equal to determine whether the associative property holds true for subtraction

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Addition

Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
