I have the following logical statement
[tex](A \wedge B) \Longleftrightarrow (A \wedge C)[/tex]
I want to find other logical statements that are equivalent to this. But I don't want to draw truth tables.

Is there a list of 'theorems' that I can look up somewhere? For example, if I have an equivalent statement for [itex]D \Longleftrightarrow (A \wedge C)[/itex], then I can maybe substitute [itex]D = (A \wedge B)[/itex] and maybe come up with something.

Sorry if my terminology is wrong. Logic is not exactly my subject.

That helps. Thanks.
 
I am pretty sure that this is equivalent:
( A [itex]\wedge[/itex] ( B [itex]\leftrightarrow[/itex] C ) )
