Solution MM.T51 Robert Beezer
We will work with the vector equality representations of the relevant systems of equations, as described by Theorem SLEMM.

(⇐) Suppose $\vect{y}=\vect{w}+\vect{z}$ and $\vect{z}\in\nsp{A}$. Then \begin{align*} A\vect{y}&=A(\vect{w}+\vect{z})&&\text{Substitution}\\ &=A\vect{w}+A\vect{z}&&\knowl{./knowls/theorem.MMDAA.knowl}{\text{Theorem MMDAA}}\\ &=\vect{b}+\zerovector&&\vect{z}\in\nsp{A}\\ &=\vect{b}&&\knowl{./knowls/property.ZC.knowl}{\text{Property ZC}}\\ \end{align*} demonstrating that $\vect{y}$ is a solution.

(⇒) Suppose $\vect{y}$ is a solution to $\linearsystem{A}{\vect{b}}$. Then \begin{align*} A(\vect{y}-\vect{w}) &=A\vect{y}-A\vect{w}&&\knowl{./knowls/theorem.MMDAA.knowl}{\text{Theorem MMDAA}}\\ &=\vect{b}-\vect{b}&&\text{$\vect{y},\,\vect{w}$ solutions to $A\vect{x}=\vect{b}$}\\ &=\zerovector&&\knowl{./knowls/property.AIC.knowl}{\text{Property AIC}}\\ \end{align*} which says that $\vect{y}-\vect{w}\in\nsp{A}$. In other words, $\vect{y}-\vect{w}=\vect{z}$ for some vector $\vect{z}\in\nsp{A}$. Rewritten, this is $\vect{y}=\vect{w}+\vect{z}$, as desired.
