Proof: Add Equal Terms
Let's prove the following theorem:
if the following are true:
- a = x
- b = y
then x + y = a + b
Proof:
Given
| 1 | a = x |
|---|---|
| 2 | b = y |
| # | Claim | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | a + b = x + y | if a = x and b = y, then a + b = x + y |
| 2 | x + y = a + b | if a + b = x + y, then x + y = a + b |
