Identity in Lattices












1














I'm having trouble proving this identity found in Curry's Foundations of Mathematical Logic.



Let $L$ be a lattice. For all $a,b,c,d in L$, show that:
$$(a wedge b) vee (c wedge d) leq (a vee c) wedge (b vee d) $$



I've tried to first show:
$$a wedge b leq (a vee c) wedge (b vee d)$$
$$ c wedge d leq (a vee c) wedge (b vee d)$$
but I'm getting nowhere.



Is this a good approach, or should I try something different?
Should I try finding a counter-example?
