Answer:

subtraction doesn't have the associative property. If we subtract the first two numbers, 10 minus 5, it gives us 5. If we move on to subtract 3, it gives us 2. However, if we subtract the last two numbers first, 5 minus 3 is 2.

Answer:

Addition and multiplication both use the associative property, while subtraction and division do not.
