Conjunction elimination

In propositional logic, conjunction elimination (also called and elimination, ∧ elimination, or simplification) is a valid immediate inference, argument form and rule of inference which makes the inference that, if the conjunction A and B is true, then A is true, and B is true. The rule makes it possible to shorten longer proofs by deriving one of the conjuncts of a conjunction on a line by itself. An example in English: It's raining and it's pouring.Therefore it's raining. The rule consists of two separate sub-rules, which can be expressed in formal language as: and
