Modulo Addition is Well-Defined/Proof 2

Proof
The equivalence class $\eqclass a m$ is defined as:
 * $\eqclass a m = \set {x \in \Z: x = a + k m: k \in \Z}$

That is, the set of all integers which differ from $a$ by an integer multiple of $m$.

Thus the notation for addition of two set of integers modulo $m$ is not usually $\eqclass a m +_m \eqclass b m$.

What is more normally seen is $a + b \pmod m$.

Using this notation:
