F1072
Formulation 1
Let $S = (X, \times)$ be an D21: Algebraic structure such that
(i) \begin{equation} X \neq \emptyset \end{equation}
A D2218: Set element $y \in X$ is an identity element in $S$ if and only if
(1) $\forall \, x \in X : y x = x$ (D537: Left identity element)
(2) $\forall \, x \in X : x y = x$ (D538: Right identity element)
