Commutative Property (Subtraction of Whole Numbers) : Solved Examples

Addition of Integers Addition of Whole Numbers Division of integers Division of Whole Numbers Multiplication of Integers
Multiplication of Whole Numbers Subtraction of Integers Subtraction of Whole Numbers

If p = 77 and q = 33, explain commutative property of subtraction of whole numbers, which says that (p - q) ≠ (q - p).
Put the values of p and q in (p - q)

= (p - q)

= (77 -33)

= 44 ..........(1)

Put the values of p and q in (q - p)

= (q - p)

= (33 - 77)

= (-44) ..........(2)

From statement (1) & (2), we get

44 ≠ (-44)

Or we can also say

(p - q) ≠ (q - p)
