Theorem eu3v 2574
Description: An alternate way to express existential uniqueness. (Contributed by NM, 8-Jul-1994.) Replace a nonfreeness hypothesis with a disjoint variable condition on 𝜑, 𝑦 to reduce axiom usage. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 29-May-2019.)
Assertion
Ref Expression
eu3v (∃!𝑥𝜑 ↔ (∃𝑥𝜑 ∧ ∃𝑦𝑥(𝜑𝑥 = 𝑦)))
Distinct variable groups:   𝑥,𝑦   𝜑,𝑦
Allowed substitution hint:   𝜑(𝑥)
