Please not following before proof:

∈ means 'belongs to' and ∉ means 'does not belong to'.

1) Relative complement of B with respect to A means elements belonging to A but not belonging to B. Thats why it is given by AB = {x:xA and xB}

2) B* means B compliment. Complement of any set means elements not belonging to it. So here B* means elements not belonging to set B.

3) (B*)* means complement of complement. By law of complement in sets we know that complement of complement gives us the set back. Meaning (B*)* = B

Please see proofs now in below attached images.
