Theorem dfexdc 1524

Description: Defining E. x ph given decidability. It is common in classical logic to define E. x ph as -. A. x -. ph but in intuitionistic logic without a decidability condition, that is only an implication not an equivalence, as seen at exalim 1525. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 15-Mar-2018.)
