Theorem equvinv 1959

Description: A variable introduction law for equality. Lemma 15 of [Monk2] p. 109. (Contributed by NM, 9-Jan-1993.) Remove dependencies on ax-10 2019, ax-13 2246. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 10-Jun-2019.) Move the quantified variable ( z) to the left of the equality signs. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 11-Apr-2021.)
