Here's the Solution to this Question

Let A = \{ y\in\Z\ |\ y = 10b - 3\text{ for some integer }b\},

B = \{ z \in \Z\ |\ z = 10c + 7\text{ for some integer }c \}


Let us prove that A = B.


Let x\in A. Then x=10b-3 for some integer b. It follows that x=10(b-1)+7, and b-1 is also integer. Therefore, x\in B. Consequently, A\subset B.


Let x\in B. Then x=10c+7 for some integer c. It follows that x=10(c+1)-3, and c+1 is also integer. Thus x\in A. Therefore, B\subset A.


We conclude that A=B.
