Theorem mulcan2

Description: Cancellation law for multiplication. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jan-2005) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 27-May-2016)

Ref Expression
Assertion mulcan2 ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ ( 𝐶 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐶 ≠ 0 ) ) → ( ( 𝐴 · 𝐶 ) = ( 𝐵 · 𝐶 ) ↔ 𝐴 = 𝐵 ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 simp1 ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ ( 𝐶 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐶 ≠ 0 ) ) → 𝐴 ∈ ℂ )
2 simp2 ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ ( 𝐶 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐶 ≠ 0 ) ) → 𝐵 ∈ ℂ )
3 simp3l ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ ( 𝐶 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐶 ≠ 0 ) ) → 𝐶 ∈ ℂ )
