Part 2: Proof that (An C) - BC (AB) n (C - B)
Consider the sentences in the following scrambled list.
So by definition of set difference, x E A - B and x E C – B.
By definition of set difference, x E A and xEC.
Thus, by definition of intersection, x E A and x € C, and, in addition, x & B.
Hence both x EA and x & B and also x E C, and x & B.
By definition of intersection, x E (A – B) n (C – B).

By definition of intersection x EA n C and x & B.
By definition of set difference x E A n C and x & B.
To prove Part 2, select sentences from the list and put them in the correct order.

7. Hence, (A n C) - BC (A - B) n (CB) by definition of subset.
Conclusion:
Since both subset relations have been proved, it follows by definition of set equality that (A - B) n (C − B) = (An C) - B.

Use an element argument to prove the statement. (Assume that all sets are subsets of a universal set U.)
Statement: For all sets A, B, and C,
(A - B)n (CB) = (An C) – B.
Proof:
Suppose A, B, and C are any sets. [To show that (A − B) n (C – B) = (A n C) - B, we must show that (A - B) n (CB) C (An C) - B and that (A n C) - BC (A - B) n (C – B).]

Consider the sentences in the following scrambled list.
By definition of intersection, x E A - B and X E C - B.
By definition of set difference, x E A - B and x E C - B.
Therefore x E (An C) - B by the definition of set difference.
By definition of set difference, x EA and x & B and x E C and x & B.
By definition of intersection, x E A and x & B and X E C and x & B.
Thus x E An C by definition of intersection, and, in addition, x & B.
To prove Part 1, select sentences from the list and put them in the correct order.
