Biconditional Elimination

Biconditional elimination allows one to infer a conditional from a biconditional: if ( A B ) is true, then one may infer one direction of the biconditional, either ( A B ) or ( B A ). For example, if it's true that I'm breathing if and only if I'm alive, then it's true that if I'm breathing, I'm alive; likewise, it's true that if I'm alive, I'm breathing. Formally:
   ( A ↔ B )      ∴ ( A → B )  
also
   ( A ↔ B )    
∴ ( B → A )
