I see there are two things to show. First, that there exists a solution, and second, that the solution is the only one, but I'm not sure how to do it.

The context is missing in your question. If your definition of a group includes this as one of the axioms, then there is nothing to show. You are using the "usual" axioms of a group, correct?

$ax = b implies a^-1ax = a^-1b implies x = a^-1b$. The solution is unique since the inverse is unique.

Hmm - I feel that for full marks you'd have to prove that the inverse is unique! I mean, all you have done is reduce it to a specific instance of the problem: $ax=1$.
