This is exercise $3.4.13$ from the book How to Prove it by Velleman $($$2^{nd}$ edition$)$:
Prove that $\exists z\in \Bbb R\forall x\in \Bbb R^+\Bigr[\exists y\in\Bbb R(y-x=\frac{y}{x}) \text{iff}\ x\neq z\Bigr]$.
Here is my proof:
Suppose $z=1$. Let $x$ be an arbitrary element of $\Bbb R^+$.
$(\rightarrow)$ Suppose $\exists y\in\Bbb R(y-x=\frac{y}{x})$. So we can choose some $y_0$ such that $y_0-x=\frac{y_0}{x}$. Let $x=z=1$. Substituting $x=1$ into $y_0-x=\frac{y_0}{x}$ we obtain $y_0-1=y_0$ and ergo $-1=0$ which is a contradiction. Ergo $x\neq z$. Thus if $\exists y\in\Bbb R(y-x=\frac{y}{x})$ then $x\neq z$.
$(\leftarrow)$ Let $x\neq z=1$. Let $y=\frac{x^2}{x-1}$ which is defined since $x\neq1$. Then
$$y-x=\frac{x^2}{x-1}-x=\frac{x}{x-1}=\frac{y}{x}.$$
Thus if $x\neq z$ then $\exists y\in\Bbb R(y-x=\frac{y}{x})$.
Thus $\exists y\in\Bbb R(y-x=\frac{y}{x})\ \text{iff}\ x\neq z$. Since $x$ is arbitrary, $\forall x\in \Bbb R^+\Bigr[\exists y\in\Bbb R(y-x=\frac{y}{x})\ \text{iff}\ x\neq z\Bigr]$. Therefore $\exists z\in \Bbb R\forall x\in \Bbb R^+\Bigr[\exists y\in\Bbb R(y-x=\frac{y}{x}) \text{iff}\ x\neq z\Bigr]$. $Q.E.D.$
Is my proof valid$?$
Thanks for your attention.
