So far I have done the RHS to $(x-3)(y-3)+12$ and I have done this to find the identity element, $(e-3)(x-3)+12=x$, then re-arranged to $(e-3)=(x-12)/(x-3)$, now I am stuck.

Let $e$ denote the identity element. Then: $0=0*e=-3e+12$. This gives $e=4.$

    $begingroup$

    The identity element (if it exists) is a value $e$ such that



    $x*e = x space forall x$



    Note that the symmetry of the definition of $x*y$ tells us that



    $x*e = x space forall x Rightarrow e*y = y space forall y$



    so if we can find $e$ then it will be a two-sided identity.



    $x*e = x space forall x \
    Rightarrow xe -3x - 3e + 12 = x space forall x \
    Rightarrow x(e-4) -3e +12 = 0 space forall x \
    Rightarrow (x-3)(e-4)= 0 space forall x$



    From this can you see a value for $e$ which will act as an identity ?

      Note that in any group $G$, the identity is the unique solution to the equation $g^2=g$.



      Hence, the identity in your group is the unique solution to the equation $x^2-6x+12=x$ in $mathbf Rsetminus 3$.

        Hint: Show that the function $f(x)=x-3$ defines an isomorphism between your group and the group of nonzero real numbers with multiplication. Note that this way, you can simultaneously check that this formula really defines a group operation.

                                    Hint: Show that the function $f(x)=x-3$ defines an isomorphism between your group and the group of nonzero real numbers with multiplication. Note that this way, you can simultaneously check that this formula really defines a group operation.
