let n, i, j be Nat; for M being Matrix of n + 1,F_Real st 0 < n & M is Matrix of n + 1,F_Rat & [i,j] in Indices M holds
Delete (M,i,j) is Matrix of n,F_Rat
let M be Matrix of n + 1,F_Real; ( 0 < n & M is Matrix of n + 1,F_Rat & [i,j] in Indices M implies Delete (M,i,j) is Matrix of n,F_Rat )
assume that
A1:
0 < n
and
A2:
M is Matrix of n + 1,F_Rat
and
A3:
[i,j] in Indices M
; Delete (M,i,j) is Matrix of n,F_Rat
reconsider L = M as Matrix of n + 1,F_Rat by A2;
X1:
Delete (M,i,j) = Delete (L,i,j)
by LmSign1E, A1, A3;
(n + 1) -' 1 = n
by NAT_D:34;
hence
Delete (M,i,j) is Matrix of n,F_Rat
by X1; verum
