Theorem exists1 2744

Description: Two ways to express "exactly one thing exists". The left-hand side requires only one variable to express this. Both sides are false in set theory, see theorem dtru 5270. (Contributed by NM, 5-Apr-2004.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 7-Oct-2022.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
exists1	⊢ (∃!𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑥 ↔ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦)
