Substituting the equations for

$d_1, d_2$ found in the second and third questions into the above equation, and then moving the second square root term to the right side of the equation results in the following:

$sqrt( (x+c)^2 + y^2) = 2a - sqrt( (x-c)^2 + y^2)$
The next step will be to square both sides. Why was the second square root term moved to the right side of the equation before squaring, instead of just squaring both sides immediately?

It gets rid of all square root terms immediately.
It will make the algebra easier later on, since the two square root terms are not multiplied together.
This ensures that there won't be any multiple answers that usually result from square roots (taking the positive and negative).
This makes that equation more balanced, which looks nicer.

Letting

$b^2 = c^2 - a^2$ , the equation no becomes:

$b^2 x^2 - y^2 = b^2 a^2$

$x^2 / a^2 - y^2 / b^2 = 1$
This is the equation of a hyperbola, centered at the origin with foci

$(-c,0)$ and

$(c,0)$ . Where does the substitution

$b^2 = c^2 - a^2$ come from?

Since $b$ usually appears in the equation for a hyperbola, it must be included. Using the Pythagorean theorem, $a^2 +b^2 = c^2$ , simply rearrange the equation.
It has to be done, to ensure the asymptotes are related to the equation. The equations of the asymptotes are $y= pm b/a$ , and knowing that $|c| > |a|$ , squaring and rearranging results in $b^2 = c^2 - a^2$ .
It's done to simply the equation. $b$ is not defined yet, and since $|c| > |a|$ , $c^2 > a^2$ , and so there must be a positive number, $b^2$ such that $b^2 = c^2 - a^2$ .
Knowing that $b$ is the length of the semi-minor axis, a right triangle can be formed with the center of the hyperbola and either foci, with $b$ as the length of one leg of this triangle. Applying the Pythagorean theorem results in $b^2 + c^2 = a^2$ , and simply rearrange.
