Suppose that A and B are sets. A is a subset of X and B is also a subset of X. Please teach me how to prove that if A is a subset of B, then X-B is a subset of X-A. Also if X-B is a subset of X-A, then A is a subset of B. *X-B means complement of B, X-A means conplement of A. I would like to use on the contrary to prove them.

Question

Suppose that A and B are sets. A is a subset of X and B is also a subset of X. Please teach me how to prove that if A is a subset of B, then X-B is a subset of X-A.

Also if X-B is a subset of X-A, then A is a subset of B.

*X-B means complement of B, X-A means conplement of A.

I would like to use on the contrary to prove them.
