"The steps to solving proofs" aren't very well defined because it depends entirely on what you want to prove. Some proofs are very straightforward; others are completely counter-intuitive and require abstract fields of study one wouldn't usually think about.

As for the properties of equality and congruency, as well as any other property, you have to know it well before you apply it.
