Lemma: Distributivity of Conjunction and Disjunction

For all propositions $x,y,z$ the following rules are tautological:

$$\begin{array}{c}x\wedge (y\vee z)\Longleftrightarrow(x\wedge y)\vee (x\wedge z),\\x\vee (y\wedge z)\Longleftrightarrow(x\vee y)\wedge (x\vee z).\end{array}$$

In other words, the conjunction "$\wedge$" and the disjunction "$\vee$" are distributive over each other.
