I tried getting the answers in similar questions, everyone says that it's not necessary, but if $e$ is the identity element for any binary operation $*$, which is not associative and commutative, how can
$$a*e=a=e*a$$
when it is not commutative, i.e. $a*b \ne b*a$?
Even if we get a value by solving $a*e=a$. Will we get the same value by solving $e*a=a$ ? Please provide an example.
