I am trying to show that if s p a n { 2 x + y , y + z } = s p a n { x , y , z } then z s p a n { 2 x + y , y + z } where x and y are non-zero vectors.
Let a , b , c , d , e F where F is field of our vector space.
We can write a ( 2 x + y ) + b ( y + z ) = c x + d y + e z by the equality of sets. However I could not write z as a linear combination of 2 x + y and y + z
I am so sorry if there is a mistake.
Thanks in advance for any help

z span ( x , y , z ), since z = 1 z, where 1 is the multiplicative identity of F .
Then, if span ( 2 x + y , y + z ) = span ( x , y , z ) , z span ( 2 x + y , y + z )

You know that z span { x , y , z } z span { 2 x + y , y + z } since both spans are identical (given).
