Proof: Multiply Both Sides 2
Let's prove the following theorem:
if the following are true:
- a = b / c
- not (c = 0)
then c ⋅ a = b
Proof:
Given
1 | a = b / c |
---|---|
2 | not (c = 0) |
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | a ⋅ c = (b / c) ⋅ c | if a = b / c, then a ⋅ c = (b / c) ⋅ c |
2 | (b / c) ⋅ c = b | if not (c = 0), then (b / c) ⋅ c = b |
3 | a ⋅ c = b | if a ⋅ c = (b / c) ⋅ c and (b / c) ⋅ c = b, then a ⋅ c = b |
4 | a ⋅ c = c ⋅ a | a ⋅ c = c ⋅ a |
5 | c ⋅ a = b | if a ⋅ c = c ⋅ a and a ⋅ c = b, then c ⋅ a = b |
