Solution for a+(a-3)=(a+4)-(a-1) equation:

Simplifying
a + (a + -3) = (a + 4) + -1(a + -1)

Reorder the terms:
a + (-3 + a) = (a + 4) + -1(a + -1)

Remove parenthesis around (-3 + a)
a + -3 + a = (a + 4) + -1(a + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-3 + a + a = (a + 4) + -1(a + -1)

-3 + 2a = (4 + a) + -1(a + -1)

Remove parenthesis around (4 + a)
-3 + 2a = 4 + a + -1(a + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2a = 4 + a + -1(-1 + a)
-3 + 2a = 4 + a + (-1 * -1 + a * -1)
-3 + 2a = 4 + a + (1 + -1a)

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2a = 4 + 1 + a + -1a

Combine like terms: 4 + 1 = 5
-3 + 2a = 5 + a + -1a

Combine like terms: a + -1a = 0
-3 + 2a = 5 + 0
-3 + 2a = 5
