Algebra, chapter VI, § 1. Ordered groups. Divisibility

If x and y are two coprime elements, and z a positive element, of a lattice ordered group, then inf⁡(x,z)=inf⁡(x,y+z)\inf(x, z) = \inf(x, y + z).

Indeed inf⁡(x,y+z)≤inf⁡(x,z)\inf(x, y + z) \leq \inf(x, z) by Prop. 11, and inf⁡(x,z)≤inf⁡(x,y+z)\inf(x, z) \leq \inf(x, y + z) since y≥0y \geq 0, whence the corollary.

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