Theorem subdiri

Description: Distribution of multiplication over subtraction. Theorem I.5 of Apostol p. 18. (Contributed by NM, 8-May-1999)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses mulm1.1 ⊢ A ∈ ℂ
mulneg.2 ⊢ B ∈ ℂ
subdi.3 ⊢ C ∈ ℂ
Assertion subdiri ⊢ A − B ⁢ C = A ⁢ C − B ⁢ C

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 mulm1.1 ⊢ A ∈ ℂ
2 mulneg.2 ⊢ B ∈ ℂ
3 subdi.3 ⊢ C ∈ ℂ
4 subdir ⊢ A ∈ ℂ ∧ B ∈ ℂ ∧ C ∈ ℂ → A − B ⁢ C = A ⁢ C − B ⁢ C
