Let A, B, C be any sets.

Prove that if [tex]C\subseteq A[/tex], then [tex](A\cap B)\cup C[/tex] = [tex]A\cap (B\cup C)[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



Don't even know where to begin, If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be the best.

To prove two sets A and B are equal, you need to show [itex]A\subset B[/itex] and [itex]B\subset A[/itex].

Thankyou! I think I'm on the right track, I see how that would make both sides equal only if C is a subset of A.
