\begin{theorem}{8} %You can use theorem, exercise, problem, or question here. Modify x.xx to be whatever number you are proving
Let G be a group with identity $e$, and let $a$ be an element of G with inverse $b$. If $c /in G$ and either $a*c=e$ or $c*a=e$, then $c=b$. In particular, $a$ only has one inverse.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Blah, blah, blah. Here is an example of the \texttt{align} environment:
\begin{align*}
\sum_{i=1}^{k+1}i & = \left(\sum_{i=1}^{k}i\right) +(k+1)\\
& = \frac{k(k+1)}{2}+k+1 & (\text{by inductive hypothesis})\\
& = \frac{k(k+1)+2(k+1)}{2}\\
& = \frac{(k+1)(k+2)}{2}\\
& = \frac{(k+1)((k+1)+1)}{2}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\begin{theorem}{x.xx}
Let $n\in \Z$. Then yada yada.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Blah, blah, blah. I'm so smart.
