Proof: Algebra
Let's prove the following theorem:
if the following are true:
- a = (b + c) + d
- b = x + y
then a = ((x + y) + c) + d
Proof:
Given
1 | a = (b + c) + d |
---|---|
2 | b = x + y |
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | b + c = (x + y) + c | if b = x + y, then b + c = (x + y) + c |
2 | a = ((x + y) + c) + d | if a = (b + c) + d and b + c = (x + y) + c, then a = ((x + y) + c) + d |
