\n" ); document.write( "Do you understand the definitions of the two sets?

\n" ); document.write( "Set A contains all integers that are 1 more than a multiple (positive or negative) of 6: A = {..., -11, -5, 1, 7, 13, ...}
\n" ); document.write( "Set B contains all integers that are 1 more than a multiple (positive or negative0 of 3: B = {..., -11, -8, -5, -2, 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, ...}

\n" ); document.write( "It is easy to see that every element in A is also in B, but not the other way around; that proves that A is a subset of B but B is not a subset of A.

\n" ); document.write( "I'm not going to try to do a formal proof.... You can try it if that's what you need.
