Let G be a group with the following property: Whenever a, b, and c belong to G and ab = ca,
then b = c. Prove that G is Abelian. ("Cross" cancellation implies commutativity.)
Solution
Let (G, *) be a group. If for any a, b in G we have a*b = b*a, the group is abelian
(or commutative). You have a,b and c in G, the operation is (.) You have defined a.b = c.a Let's
find b.a b.a = a.c, a.c = c.a Then, (G, .) is abelian.
