In Exercises 15–20, let the binary operation p be defined on Z by the given rule. Determine in each case whether Z is a group with respect to p and whether it is an abelian group. State which, if any, conditions fail to hold.
15. x * y = x + y +1

16. x * y = x + y - 1
17. x * y = x + xy

18. x * y = xy + y
19. x * y = x + xy + y

20. x * y = x - y
