I'm trying to using natural deduction calculus to prove the above argument. The problem is I don't know what I should assume in order to obtain Fx, or x=a?
It's not apparent to me what I can assume that would follow with a valid discharge.

$\def\fitch#1#2{\begin{array}{|l}#1 \\ \hline #2\end{array}}$
$\fitch{1. \ Fa}{2. \ a=a \quad = \ Intro\\ 3. Fa \land a=a \quad \land \ Intro \ 1,2\\ 4. \exists x \ ( x = a \land Fx) \quad \exists \ Intro \ 3}$
