Theorem	predep 6296	The predecessor under the membership relation is equivalent to an intersection. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 27-Mar-2011.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 27-Aug-2011.)
⊢ (𝑋 ∈ 𝐵 → Pred( E , 𝐴, 𝑋) = (𝐴 ∩ 𝑋))
Theorem	trpred 6297	The class of predecessors of an element of a transitive class for the membership relation is that element. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Oct-2024.)
⊢ ((Tr 𝐴 ∧ 𝑋 ∈ 𝐴) → Pred( E , 𝐴, 𝑋) = 𝑋)
Theorem	preddowncl 6298*	A property of classes that are downward closed under predecessor. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 13-Apr-2011.)
