How would I go about showing that the pair $(G, *)$ is a group if and only if $G$ is a set and $*$ is an associative binary operation on $G$ such that:
- (Left Identity) There exists an element $e in G$ such that $e * g = g$ for all $g in G$.
- (Left Inverses) For each $g in G$, there exists an element $g^-1 in G$ such that $g^-1 * g = e$.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

If $G$ is a group, conditions $(1)$ and $(2)$ are directly implied by the axioms. So suppose now that $(1)$ and $(2)$ are true. We need to show existence of right inverses and that the identity also works from the right.
Identity
Note that $$g^-1 * g = e = e * e = g^-1 * g * e.$$ By $(2)$ there is $h in G$ such that $h * g^-1 = e$. Thus $$h * g^-1 * g = h * g^-1 * g * e text Longrightarrow text e* g = e* g * e = e text Longrightarrowtext g = g * e.$$
Inverses
We have $$g^-1 * g * g^-1 = (g^-1 * g) * g^-1 = e * g^-1 = g^-1 text Longrightarrow text h * g^-1 * g * g^-1 = h * g^-1$$$$Longrightarrowtext e * (g * g^-1) = etext Longrightarrow text g * g^-1 = e.$$
