Theorem stdpc7

Description: One of the two equality axioms of standard predicate calculus, called substitutivity of equality. (The other one is stdpc6 .) Translated to traditional notation, it can be read: " x = y -> ( ph ( x , x ) -> ph ( x , y ) ) , provided that y is free for x in ph ( x , x ) ". Axiom 7 of Mendelson p. 95.
