    Addition and multiplication are both associative and commutative, as shown with the examples 1 + 2 = 2 + 1 and 1 × (2 × 3) = (1 × 2) × 3. Subtraction and division are neither associative nor commutative, as demonstrated by the examples 1 - 2 ≠ 2 - 1, 1 ÷ (2 ÷ 3) ≠ (1 ÷ 2) ÷ 3, and 1 - (2 - 3) ≠ (1 - 2) - 3.

    1. Is addition associative/commutative? Show an example.


    Answer: Both
    Commutative: 1 + 2 = 2 + 1
    Associative: 1 + (2 + 3) = (1 + 2) + 3

    2. Subtraction? Show an example.


    Answer: Neither
    Commutative: 1 - 2 = -1
    2-1=1
    Associative: 1 - (2 - 3) = 2
    (1 - 2) - 3 = -4

    3. Multiplication? Show an example.


    Answer: Both
    Commutative: 1 × 2 = 2 × 1
    Associative: 1 × (2 × 3) = (1 × 2) × 3

    4. Division? Show an example.


    Answer: Neither
    1
    Commutative: 1 ÷ 2 = 2
    2÷1=2
    3
    Associative: 1 ÷ (2 ÷ 3) = 2
    1
    (1 ÷ 2) ÷ 3 = 6
