-(a+b)=(-a)+(-b)
1 (a+b)+-(a+b)=0 //additive inverse of (a+b)
2 a+b+-(a+b)=0 //remove parentheses
3 a+(-a)+b+(-b)+-(a+b)=(-a)+(-b) //add (-a)+(-b) to 2 from 2
4 0+0+-(a+b)=(-a)+(-b) //additive inverse of a and b from 3
5 0+-(a+b)=(-a)+(-b) //additive identity is unique from 4
6 -(a+b)=(-a)+(-b) //additive identity from 5
