Axiom ax-8 1395
Description: Axiom of Equality. One of the equality and substitution axioms of predicate calculus with equality. This is similar to, but not quite, a transitive law for equality (proved later as equtr 1595). Axiom scheme C8' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). Also appears as Axiom C7 of [Monk2] p. 105.

Axioms ax-8 1395 through ax-16 1695 are the axioms having to do with equality, substitution, and logical properties of our binary predicate  e. (which later in set theory will mean "is a member of"). Note that all axioms except ax-16 1695 and ax-17 1419 are still valid even when  x,  y, and  z are replaced with the same variable because they do not have any distinct variable (Metamath's $d) restrictions. Distinct variable restrictions are required for ax-16 1695 and ax-17 1419 only. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
