For a given type X, rigorously show that idX = (idX)^-1

For a given type X, rigorously show that idX = (idX)^-1
I have done the following so far:
(x,y) ∈ idX
<=> identity relation
x=y ^ x ∈ X
.
.
.
.
y=x ^ y ∈ X
<=> identity relation
(y,x) ∈ idX
<=> relational inverse
(x,y) ∈ (idX)^-1
Basically I don't know how to connect the two together.
Thanks in advance

From $x=yland xin X$, we obtain $x=y$ and $xin X$. Using the equality $x=y$, we can substitute $x$ with $y$ in $xin X$ and thus obtain $yin X$. As equality is symmetric, $x=y$ implies $y=x$. So we have $y=x$ and $yin X$, hence also $y=xland yin X$.

Uhh I see it now, didn't think it was that simple I was looking at which proofs to use
