NOTE: Edited twice to explain better.

This is just a matter of terminology to justify why each step is made. The properties are presented and clearly stated in your textbook.

2%2B6%289-3%5E2%29-2, given.

2%2B6%289-9%29-2, Order of Operations requires exponentiation first, depending on how quantities are associated - I know of no other law for this.

2%2B6%2A0-2, Additive Inverse Property; note that the operation inside the parentheses was done BEFORE the multiplication involving the 6; because or again, Order of Operations. WORK inside parentheses FIRST, depending on presence or arrangements of any exponentiations.

2%2B0-2, law about multiplication by 0, product is zero - not sure if there is a better name. (This is result of the principle of multiplication by zero; that for any real number a such that a%3C%3E0, a%2A0=0).

2-2, same as 2%2B%28-2%29, meaning of subtraction

2%2B%28-2%29=0, Additive Inverse Property
