prove: when xz= yz then x=y if z is not equal to zero

Parth (parthkohli):

This uses certain axioms.

Parth (parthkohli):

Well... this is itself an axiom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but how to prove

Parth (parthkohli):

Divide both sides by \(\rm z\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no i worked like that but it needs another proof

OpenStudy (hba):

You Mean Geometric Proofs ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli seems right. Dividing both the sides by z is possible only when z is not equal to 0. Cuz, any number divided by 0 is not defined. Do reply if you get another proof.

OpenStudy (hba):

Take z inverse operation xz * z^-1 = yz * z^-1 x = y

OpenStudy (hba):

Well Pk is Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can write x/y=z/z so x/y=1 so x=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok man i got the proof wanna share with you guyssssss as xz = yz -----> given xz- yz = 0 (x-y)z = 0 as z is not equal to zero-----> given thus x-y=0 => x=y hence proved thanks to all of you. thanks alot for your time
