\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One would imagine, if you took the steps this far, even to the end, you know what and why you did what you did. You want to give a formal justification for each step. Refer to the properties of real numbers which you are studying: Addition Property of Quality, Additive Inverses, Multiplication Property, Multiplicative Inverse, Commutative Property for Addition.
