F978
Formulation 2
Let $S = (X, \times)$ be an D21: Algebraic structure such that
(i) \begin{equation} X \neq \emptyset \end{equation}
(ii) $1_S$ is an D39: Identity element in $S$
A D2218: Set element $y \in X$ is an inverse element of $x \in X$ in $S$ if and only if
(1) \begin{equation} y x = 1_S \end{equation} (D535: Left inverse element)
(2) \begin{equation} x y = 1_S \end{equation} (D536: Right inverse element)
