Right Module induces Left Module over same Ring iff Actions are Commutative

Theorem
Let $\struct {R, +_R, \times_R}$ be a ring.

Let $\struct {G, +_G, \circ}$ be a right module over $\struct {R, +_R, \times_R}$.

Let $\circ' : R \times G \to G$ be the binary operation defined by:
 * $\forall \lambda \in R: \forall x \in G: \lambda \circ' x = x \circ \lambda $

Then $\struct {G, +_G, \circ'}$ is a left module over $\struct {R, +_R, \times_R}$ :
 * $\forall \lambda, \mu \in R: \forall x \in G: x \circ \paren{ \lambda \times_R \mu} = x \circ \paren {\mu \times_R \lambda}$

Necessary Condition
Let $\struct {G, +_G, \circ'}$ be a left module over $\struct {R, +_R, \times_R}$.

Then:

Sufficient Condition
Let the scalar multiplication $\circ$ satisfy:
 * $\forall \lambda, \mu \in R: \forall x \in G: x \circ \paren {\lambda \times_R \mu} = x \circ \paren {\mu \times_R \lambda}$

It needs to be shown that $\struct {G, +_G, \circ'}$ satisfies the left module axioms.

Let $\lambda, \mu \in R, x \in G$.

Then:

Let $\lambda \in R, x, y \in G$.

Then:

Let $\lambda, \mu \in R, x \in G$.

Then:
