Then x is in A - B and in C.
Suppose that x E (A - B) - C
x EA and x E C.
This shows that x EA - C.
Since x EA-B, XEA.

Click and drag the steps on the left to their corresponding step number on the right to prove the given statement.
An (B-A) = 0
By definition of set difference, x belonging to B-A
means that x is in B and x is not in A.
Therefore, An (B-A) is empty.
Suppose that An (B-A) is non empty set and x
belongs to An (B-A).
Then x belong to A and x belong to B - A.
Therefore, x is in A and x is not in A. That is a
contradiction.
By definition of set difference, x belonging to B-A
means that x is in B and x is in A.
Therefore, An (B-A) is not empty.
Therefore, x is in A and x is in A.
