Showing (AB)C=A(BC) is relatively a simple matter using the super duper summation convention.
Firstly the ith row, jth column of a matrix A is designated by Aij, Aij or Aij.
Matrix multiplication is then defined as
[XY]ij=XikYkj
where square brackets have been placed around XY to designate the ij element of the matrix X⋅Y.
[(AB)C]ij=(AB)ikCkj=AilBlkCkj=Ail(BlkCkj)=Ail[BC]lj=[A(BC)]ij∴

Matrix Inverses are unique
Left Inverse = Right Inverse
Let A be an n \times n matrix and AB = \mathbb{I} , so that B = A^{-1} .It follows that BA = \mathbb{I} ...
\begin{aligned} AB & = \mathbb{I} \\ B \left( AB \right) & = B \mathbb{I} \\ \left( B A \right) B & = B \\ \therefore \left( B A \right) & = \mathbb{I} \end{aligned}
Inverses Are Unique
Suppose another inverse of A existed, C , so that AC = CA = \mathbb{I} .It follows that B = C = A^{-1} ...
\begin{aligned} A B & = \mathbb{I} \\ C \left( A B \right) & = C \mathbb{I} \\ \left( C A \right) B & = C \\ \left( \mathbb{I} \right) B & = C \\ \therefore B & = C \end{aligned}
