SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the proof that the sum of a finite-dimensional subspace \( L \) and any subspace \( M \) of a locally convex space \( X \) is closed. It is established that if \( \dim L < \infty \), then \( L \) is closed in \( X \). The conclusion drawn is that \( L + M \) is closed in \( X \) without the necessity for \( M \) to be closed or finite-dimensional.
