U, W be two subspaces of vectorspace V.

Now, let W is a subset of U.

Now, let x U+W.

  x = U+W1 where U  U and W1   W

Now as W be a Subset of U, W1.

 U, W1  U

  U+W1  U [as, U be a subspace of the vector space V]

 x  U

Hence, U+W U --- (1)

Now for every y  U,

y=y+0  U+W where, 0 is the zero element of V and 0  W, as W be subspace of V.

 U  U+W --- (2)

Form (1) and (2) U=U+w

Hence, proved
