Answer to Problem 2WE
2. Adding (-c) to both sides.
3. Using associative law.
4. Since c+(-c) = 0.
5. Since a+0=a.
Explanation of Solution
In the Second step, we are adding -c to both the sides of equation, which is possible in case of real numbers.
In the third step, we are using associative property of addition of real numbers.
In the fourth step, we are adding an element and its additive inverse, which turns out zero always.
In the last step, we are adding additive identity to a real number due to which real number is unaltered.
