. Of particular interest is the use of csbied at step 22, which, using the new (weaker) hypothesis fsumshftd.5, gives us [_ ( k - K ) / j ]_ A = B to get rid of the explicit substitution on A and result in B. Norm On Friday, November 1, 2019 at 1:27:50 PM UTC-4, Norman Megill wrote: > > Gettin

Getting back to your original question, we can prove fsumshft with your modified (weaker) fsumshft.5 starting from directly from fsumshft with the stronger fsumshft.5. I show a proof here: http://us2.metamath.org/mpeuni/fsumshftd.html To summarize the proof, we use csbeq1 at step 15 to

fsumshft.5 doesn't have a "ph ->" antecedent because its purpose is simply to specify that B is a substitution instance of A. We sometimes call this "implicit substitution" as opposed to "explicit substitution", which would be B = [. ( k - K ) / j ]. A (or just using [. ( k - K ) / j ]. A in
