Suppose you are given the following axioms:

  1. $0 \leq 3$.
  2. $7 \leq 9$.
  3. ${\forall,x;;} ; ; x \leq x$.
  4. ${\forall,x;;} ; ; x \leq x+0$.
  5. ${\forall,x;;} ; ; x+0 \leq x$.
  6. ${\forall,x,y;;} ; ; x+y \leq y+x$.
  7. ${\forall,w,x,y,z;;} ; ; w \leq y$ $\wedge$ $x \leq z$ ${:;{\Rightarrow}:;}$ $w+x \leq y+z$.
  8. ${\forall,x,y,z;;} ; ; x \leq y \wedge y \leq z : {:;{\Rightarrow}:;}: x \leq z$

1. Give a backward-chaining proof of the sentence $7 \leq 3+9$. (Be sure, of course, to use only the axioms given here, not anything else you may know about arithmetic.) Show only the steps that leads to success, not the irrelevant steps.
