# Claim Reason
1 (bd) ⋅ c = (bc) ⋅ d (bd) ⋅ c = (bc) ⋅ d
2 ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = ((bc) ⋅ d) / d if (bd) ⋅ c = (bc) ⋅ d, then ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = ((bc) ⋅ d) / d
3 d / d = 1 d / d = 1
4 ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = (bc) ⋅ (d / d) ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = (bc) ⋅ (d / d)
5 ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = (bc) ⋅ 1 if ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = (bc) ⋅ (d / d) and d / d = 1, then ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = (bc) ⋅ 1
6 (bc) ⋅ 1 = bc (bc) ⋅ 1 = bc
7 ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = bc if ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = (bc) ⋅ 1 and (bc) ⋅ 1 = bc, then ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = bc
8 ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = bc if ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = ((bc) ⋅ d) / d and ((bc) ⋅ d) / d = bc, then ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = bc
9 ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = (bd) ⋅ (c / d) ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = (bd) ⋅ (c / d)
10 (bd) ⋅ (c / d) = bc if ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = (bd) ⋅ (c / d) and ((bd) ⋅ c) / d = bc, then (bd) ⋅ (c / d) = bc
