Fill in the blanks in the proof of the following theorem.

THEOREM: AB iff AB = B.

Proof: Suppose that AB. If xAB, then xA or x ∈ ____

 Since A ⊆ B, in either case we have xB. Thus____  ⊆ ____. On the other hand, if x ∈ ___ _, then xAB, so ____⊆ ____. Hence AB = B.

Conversely, suppose that AB = B. If xA, then x ∈ ____. But AB = B, so x ∈ ____ . Thus ____ ⊆ ____.
