Question:

For \( X, Y \in M_2(\mathbb{R}) \), define \((X, Y) = XY - YX\). Let \( 0 \in M_2(\mathbb{R}) \) denote the zero matrix. Consider the two statements:
\[ P : (X, (Y, Z)) + (Y, (Z, X)) + (Z, (X, Y)) = 0 \text{ for all } X, Y, Z \in M_2(\mathbb{R}).\]\[ Q : (X, (Y, Z)) = ((X, Y), Z) \text{ for all } X, Y, Z \in M_2(\mathbb{R}).\]Then which one of the following is correct?
