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