PLS HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!
Evaluate x - (y - z) and (x- y) - z for y = 3, x = 5, z = 4. Is there any associative property of subtraction

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no associative property of subtraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• x = 5
• y = 3
• z = 4

x - (y - z) = 5 - (3 - 4) = 5 - (-1) = 5 + 1 = 6

(x - y) - z = (5 - 3) - 4 = 2 x -4 = -6

Therefore, there is no associative property of subtraction as 6 ≠ -6
