Explain why commutative and associative properties don’t hold true for subtraction and division but the identity properties do ?

Glad I can help you!!

Answer:

Definition: The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. By 'grouped' we mean 'how you use parenthesis'. In other words, if you are adding or multiplying it does not matter where you put the parenthesis.

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.

If satisfied please leave a review and feel free to give me brainiest.

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS QUESTION
Burka [1]
One nice thing about this situation is that you’ve been given everything in the same base. To review a little on the laws of exponents, when you have two exponents with the same base being:

– Multiplied: Add their exponents
– Divided: Subtract their exponents

We can see that in both the numerator and denominator we have exponents *multiplied* together, and the product in the numerator is being *divided* by the product in the detonator, so that translates to *summing the exponents on the top and bottom and then finding their difference*. Let’s throw away the twos for a moment and just focus on the exponents. We have

[11/2 + (-7) + (-5)] - [3 + 1/2 + (-10)]

For convenience’s sake, I’m going to turn 11/2 into the mixed number 5 1/2. Summing the terms in the first brackets gives us

5 1/2 + (-7) + (-5) = - 1 1/2 + (-5) = -6 1/2

And summing the terms in the second:

3 + 1/2 + (-10) = 3 1/2 + (-10) = -6 1/2

Putting those both into our first question gives us -6 1/2 - (-6 1/2), which is 0, since any number minus itself gives us 0.

Now we can bring the 2 back into the mix. The 0 we found is the exponent the 2 is being raised to, so our answer is

2^0, which is just 1.
