Theorem wl-equsal1t 38475
Description: The expression 𝑥 = 𝑦 in antecedent position plays an important role in predicate logic, namely in implicit substitution. However, occasionally it is irrelevant, and can safely be dropped. A sufficient condition for this is when 𝑥 (or 𝑦 or both) is not free in 𝜑.

This theorem is more fundamental than equsal 2446, spimt 2415 or sbft 2303, to which it is related. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 19-Aug-2018.)
