Union is Associative

Theorem
Set union is associative:


 * $A \cup \left({B \cup C}\right) = \left({A \cup B}\right) \cup C$

Proof
Therefore:
 * $x \in A \cup \left({B \cup C}\right)$ $x \in \left({A \cup B}\right) \cup C$

Thus it has been shown that:
 * $A \cup \left({B \cup C}\right) = \left({A \cup B}\right) \cup C$
