Proof: Substitution in Product
Let's prove the following theorem:
if the following are true:
- a ⋅ b = c
- b = d
then a ⋅ d = c
Proof:
Given
| 1 | a ⋅ b = c |
|---|---|
| 2 | b = d |
| # | Claim | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | c = a ⋅ b | if a ⋅ b = c, then c = a ⋅ b |
| 2 | c = a ⋅ d | if c = a ⋅ b and b = d, then c = a ⋅ d |
| 3 | a ⋅ d = c | if c = a ⋅ d, then a ⋅ d = c |
