Using the Inverse Product theorem, we claim that:
(1 / c) ⋅ c = 1
Thus
b ⋅ ((1 / c) ⋅ c) = b ⋅ 1

Given that:
not (c = 0)
Prove that:
(b / c) ⋅ c = b
The following properties may be helpful:
- a / b = a ⋅ (1 / b)
- (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ (b ⋅ c)
- a ⋅ 1 = a
if b / c = b ⋅ (1 / c), then (b / c) ⋅ c = (b ⋅ (1 / c)) ⋅ c
if not (a = 0), then (1 / a) ⋅ a = 1
if a = b, then c ⋅ a = c ⋅ b
if the following are true:
- a = b
- b = c
- c = d
- d = e
then a = e
Please write your proof in the table below. Each row should contain one claim. The last claim is the statement that you are trying to prove.
