Theorem	uncom 4099	Commutative law for union of classes. Exercise 6 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 17. (Contributed by NM, 25-Jun-1998.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 26-Jun-2011.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = (𝐵 ∪ 𝐴)
Theorem	equncom 4100	If a class equals the union of two other classes, then it equals the union of those two classes commuted. equncom 4100 was automatically derived from equncomVD 45312 using the tools program translate_without_overwriting.cmd and minimizing.
