Theorem lmodass

Description: Left module vector sum is associative. (Contributed by NM, 10-Jan-2014) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-Jun-2014)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses lmodvacl.v 𝑉 = ( Base ‘ 𝑊 )
lmodvacl.a + = ( +g𝑊 )
Assertion lmodass ( ( 𝑊 ∈ LMod ∧ ( 𝑋𝑉𝑌𝑉𝑍𝑉 ) ) → ( ( 𝑋 + 𝑌 ) + 𝑍 ) = ( 𝑋 + ( 𝑌 + 𝑍 ) ) )

Proof
