Hello,
I am trying to learn lean and prove basic things.
I want to do the following axiom but I don't understand how to do it.
For any real a
and b
, a + b
is a real.
axiom t: ∀ (a b : ℝ), a + b ∈ ℝ -- error
The following axiom:
Every real a
admits a unique opposite -a
such that -a + a = a + (-a) = 0.
The following theorem:
For any real a
, -(-a) = a
I want to prove it by using the above axiom, substituting a
by -a
in the equation -a + a = 0
and that the opposite is unique.
Thanks for your help.
