if [tex]A \oplus B=C[/tex], then [tex]C \oplus B=A[/tex], and [tex]A \oplus C=B[/tex] (use substitution)

[tex]C \oplus B=A[/tex]

[tex]C \overline{B} + \overline{C} B = A[/tex]

[tex](A \oplus B) \overline{B} + (\overline {A \oplus B}) B = A[/tex]

[tex](A \overline{B} + \overline {A} B ) \overline {B} + (AB+ \overline{A} \overline{B})B=A[/tex]

[tex]A \overline{B} \overline {B} + \overline {A} B \overline{B} + ABB + \overline{A} \overline{B}B=A[/tex]

[tex]AB + 0 + AB + 0 = A[/tex]

AB = A

I don't know how to get A = A

Any help?

Am I doing the steps correctly?
 
Anybody know how to solve

You made a mistake in line 6. You should have:
[tex]A\overline{B} + 0 + AB + 0 = A[/tex]

[tex]A(\overline{B} + B) = A[/tex]

[tex]A.1 = A[/tex]

[tex]A = A[/tex]
