For a given type X, rigorously show that idX = (idX)^-1



I have done the following so far:



(x,y) ∈ idX

<=> identity relation

x=y ^ x ∈ X

.

.

.

.

y=x ^ y ∈ X

<=> identity relation

(y,x) ∈ idX

<=> relational inverse

(x,y) ∈ (idX)^-1


Basically I don't know how to connect the two together.
Thanks in advance

          From $x=yland xin X$, we obtain $x=y$ and $xin X$. Using the equality $x=y$, we can substitute $x$ with $y$ in $xin X$ and thus obtain $yin X$. As equality is symmetric, $x=y$ implies $y=x$. So we have $y=x$ and $yin X$, hence also $y=xland yin X$.
