Theorem hbequid

Description: Bound-variable hypothesis builder for x = x . This theorem tells us that any variable, including x , is effectively not free in x = x , even though x is technically free according to the traditional definition of free variable. (The proof does not use ax-c10 .) (Contributed by NM, 13-Jan-2011) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 23-Mar-2014) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
