Assume for contradiction that B≠C Then either B⊈C or C⊈B We only need to disprove one of these since after we have disproved one of them, we can disprove the other just by swapping the roles of B and C. We will assume B⊈C Then ∃x such that x∈B and x∉C The either x∈A or x∉A Case 1: x∈A. Then since x∈B, x∈A⋂B. But since x∉C, x∉A⋂C. Therefore A⋂B≠A⋂C, a contadiction since A⋂B=A⋂C is given. So case 1 is disproved. Case 2: x∉A. Then since x∈B, x∈A⋃B. But since x∉C, x∉A⋃C. Therefore A⋃B≠A⋃C, a contadiction, since A⋃B=A⋃C is given. So case 2 is disproved. Therefore B⊈C is false and B⊆C is true. By swapping the roles of B and C in the above, C⊈B is false and C⊆B is true. Therefore B=C. Edwin
