I disagree. 
Getting rid of a+b-c should be allowed. That's what confuses me. Suppose that you change 4 and 3 with x and y. Final statement would be
x(a+b-c) = y(a+b-c) 

In this case, if you get rid of a+b-c, it would be perfectly ok, and utterly correct,cause x=y. So, why is it possible with xy, and not with 3 and 4?
