Theorem rngoaass

Description: The addition operation of a ring is associative. (Contributed by Steve Rodriguez, 9-Sep-2007) (New usage is discouraged.)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses ringgcl.1 𝐺 = ( 1st𝑅 )
ringgcl.2 𝑋 = ran 𝐺
Assertion rngoaass ( ( 𝑅 ∈ RingOps ∧ ( 𝐴𝑋𝐵𝑋𝐶𝑋 ) ) → ( ( 𝐴 𝐺 𝐵 ) 𝐺 𝐶 ) = ( 𝐴 𝐺 ( 𝐵 𝐺 𝐶 ) ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
