A path from $ (0,0)$ to $ (n,n)$ on the lattice is made up of unit moves upward or rightward. It is balanced if the sum of the x-coordinates of its $ 2n\plus{}1$ vertices equals the sum of their y-coordinates. Show that a balanced path divides the square with vertices $ (0,0)$, $ (n,0)$, $ (n,n)$, $ (0,n)$ into two parts with equal area.
