    It is False.

    If a property is commutative in subtraction it means: x - y is the same as y - x.

    For example 5 - 3 = 2, but 3 - 5 = - 2 so subtraction is not commutative.

    But 5 + 3 = 8, is the same as 3 + 5 = 8.

    Addition is Commutative, but Subtraction is not commutative.

    So the statement that subtraction of whole numbers is commutative is False.
