Algebra, chapter I, § 2. Identity element; cancellable elements; invertible elements

The set of cancellable (resp. left cancellable, resp. right cancellable) elements of an associative magma is a submagma.

If γx\gamma_x and γy\gamma_y are injective so is γxTy=γx∘γy\gamma_{x \mathsf{T} y} = \gamma_x \circ \gamma_y (Proposition 1). Similarly for δxTy\delta_{x \mathsf{T} y}.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
