Giving reasons on each line of a sequence of equations
To produce this: \begin{align} v + w & = 0 &\text{Given} \tag 1\\ -w & = -w + 0 & \text{additive identity} \tag 2\\ -w + 0 & = -w + (v + w) & \text{equations $(1)$ and $(2)$} \end{align}\begin{align} v + w & = 0 &&\text{Given} \tag 1\\ -w & = -w + 0 && \text{additive identity} \tag 2\\ -w + 0 & = -w + (v + w) && \text{equations $(1)$ and $(2)$} \end{align}
write this:
\begin{align}
v + w & = 0 &\text{Given} \tag 1\\
-w & = -w + 0 & \text{additive identity} \tag 2\\
-w + 0 & = -w + (v + w) & \text{equations $(1)$ and $(2)$}
\end{align}\begin{align}
v + w & = 0 &&\text{Given} \tag 1\\
-w & = -w + 0 && \text{additive identity} \tag 2\\
-w + 0 & = -w + (v + w) && \text{equations $(1)$ and $(2)$}
\end{align}
