Theorem mul12i

Description: Commutative/associative law that swaps the first two factors in a triple product. (Contributed by NM, 11-May-1999) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 19-Nov-2011)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses mul.1 ⊢ A ∈ ℂ
mul.2 ⊢ B ∈ ℂ
mul.3 ⊢ C ∈ ℂ
Assertion mul12i ⊢ A ⁢ B ⁢ C = B ⁢ A ⁢ C

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 mul.1 ⊢ A ∈ ℂ
2 mul.2 ⊢ B ∈ ℂ
3 mul.3 ⊢ C ∈ ℂ
4 mul12 ⊢ A ∈ ℂ ∧ B ∈ ℂ ∧ C ∈ ℂ → A ⁢ B ⁢ C = B ⁢ A ⁢ C
