I am on lesson 2 of the "Opengl in 500 lines" tutorial. I follow the part of the lesson in "The method I adopt for my code", but I don't understand this leap from

P = A + uAB-vector + vAC-vector

to

0-vector = uAB-vector + vAC-vector + PA-vector.

    \$\begingroup\$ if I understand if you have P = A + uAB + vAC and you substract P on both sides then you get 0 = A + uAB + vAC - P but A - P can mean vector PA \$\endgroup\$

If I understand if you have

 P = A + uAB + vAC

and you substract P on both sides then you get

 0 = A + uAB + vAC - P

and you change order

 0 = A - P + uAB + vAC

but A - P can mean vector PA

 0 = PA + uAB + vAC
