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}
