A full step by step solution please to the attached image hwk question. Both part a and b.

**Problem 2**: Given sets \( X \) and \( Y \), use the indicated methods to prove \( X - (X \cap Y) = X - Y \).

**(a) Algebraic proof** (Indicate the laws used).

**(b) Element argument**

---

In this problem, we need to prove that the set difference between set \( X \) and the intersection of sets \( X \) and \( Y \) is equal to the set difference between sets \( X \) and \( Y \). We will use two approaches:

1. **Algebraic Proof**:
   - Start with the expression \( X - (X \cap Y) \).
   - Use set laws and properties (such as distribution, De Morgan’s Laws, etc.) to simplify and prove this equals \( X - Y \).
   - Clearly indicate which laws are applied at each step.

2. **Element Argument**:
   - Consider an arbitrary element and show it is included in both sides of the equation.
   - Use logical reasoning to demonstrate that if an element is in \( X - (X \cap Y) \), it is also in \( X - Y \), and vice versa.

This exercise aims to reinforce understanding of set operations and proofs using both algebraic manipulation and logical argumentation.
