Proof: Divide Both
Let's prove the following theorem:
if the following are true:
- a / b = c / d
- d = e
then a / b = c / e
Proof:
Given
1 | a / b = c / d |
---|---|
2 | d = e |
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | c / d = c / e | if d = e, then c / d = c / e |
2 | a / b = c / e | if a / b = c / d and c / d = c / e, then a / b = c / e |
