The use of "subsequently or consequently"
Hi
I think the use of the yellow words is odd/wrong in these sentences. If so, could you please offer me a better word? Do I need the "too"?
If A equals F, and F equals Z, consequently A equals Z, too.
If A equals F, and F equals Z, subsequently A equals Z, too.
Thanks,
Tom

You don't really need "if" with "consequently" (and you don't need "too" here either). " I prefer a semicolon (else it feels like a comma splice). "subsequently" doesn't fit in this sentence.

"A equals F(,) and F equals Z; consequently A equals Z."
I prefer a semicolon (else it feels like a comma splice).
"subsequently" doesn't fit in this sentence.
Other ways to say it:
"A equals F(,) and F equals Z, so A equals Z."
