Proof Table
# Claim Reason
1 b ⋅ c = c ⋅ b b ⋅ c = c ⋅ b
2 a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = a ⋅ (c ⋅ b) if b ⋅ c = c ⋅ b, then a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = a ⋅ (c ⋅ b)
3 a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c
4 a ⋅ (c ⋅ b) = (a ⋅ c) ⋅ b a ⋅ (c ⋅ b) = (a ⋅ c) ⋅ b
5 (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = (a ⋅ c) ⋅ b if a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = a ⋅ (c ⋅ b) and a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c and a ⋅ (c ⋅ b) = (a ⋅ c) ⋅ b, then (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = (a ⋅ c) ⋅ b
