Summary:: To prove a conditional statement on a pair of inequalitites.
Mentor note: Moved from technical forum section, so the post is missing the usual fields.
I feel it should be possible to prove this but I keep getting lost in the symbolic manipulation.
Theorem: If a>b implies a>c then b>c.
Intuitively if every time a number a is greater than a number b it is also greater than a number c then b>c.
Is this correct?
