Proof: Algebra 9
Let's prove the following theorem:
if a = b + c, then a - b = c
Proof:
Given
1 | a = b + c |
---|
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | a + (b ⋅ (-1)) = c | if a = b + c, then a + (b ⋅ (-1)) = c |
2 | a + (b ⋅ (-1)) = a - b | a + (b ⋅ (-1)) = a - b |
3 | a - b = c | if a + (b ⋅ (-1)) = a - b and a + (b ⋅ (-1)) = c, then a - b = c |
