Sep 10, 2020 at 9:44 comment added Zhen Lin Very nice! That axiom says that for a ring or a distributive lattice $(-) + z$ and $(-) \times z$ are jointly injective, which seems to be worth thinking about. It fails in $\mathbb{N} \cup \{ +\infty \}$ (which is a semiring if we define $0 \times {+ \infty} = 0$). I will accept that as answer.
Sep 10, 2020 at 9:14 comment added François G. Dorais How about $x+z=y+z, x\times z = y \times z \vdash x = y$? There should be a rig where that doesn't hold, but it is true in every commutative ring and every distributive lattice.
