Assume has quantifier elimination, and let be a structure embedding between its models. For any first-order formula , choose a quantifier-free formula equivalent to it modulo . A structure embedding preserves and reflects atomic formulas; induction through the Boolean connectives therefore preserves every quantifier-free formula. ThusThe embedding is elementary. Every theory with quantifier elimination is model-complete.
