  1. is a definition of ax

  2. is a definition of Ax and Px and shows that Ax =Px • ax

  3. is a statement of a loan of 1 for the life of (x)

  4. is a statement that ax X ax 1 =1

  5. is a statement which when compared with (2) shows that Px =a1 —d

  6. is a statement of a loan of Ax for the life of (x)

  7. is a statement which when compared with (2) shows that Px • Ax =Px —dAx

  8. shows that dAx =Px(1—Ax)
