Solution SS.T10 Robert Beezer
This is an equality of sets, so Definition SE applies.

First show that $X=\spn{\set{\vect{v}_1,\,\vect{v}_2}}\subseteq \spn{\set{\vect{v}_1,\,\vect{v}_2,\,5\vect{v}_1+3\vect{v}_2}}=Y$.\\ Choose $\vect{x}\in X$. Then $\vect{x}=a_1\vect{v}_1+a_2\vect{v}_2$ for some scalars $a_1$ and $a_2$. Then, \begin{equation*} \vect{x}=a_1\vect{v}_1+a_2\vect{v}_2=a_1\vect{v}_1+a_2\vect{v}_2+0(5\vect{v}_1+3\vect{v}_2) \end{equation*} which qualifies $\vect{x}$ for membership in $Y$, as it is a linear combination of $\vect{v}_1,\,\vect{v}_2,\,5\vect{v}_1+3\vect{v}_2$.

Now show the opposite inclusion, $Y=\spn{\set{\vect{v}_1,\,\vect{v}_2,\,5\vect{v}_1+3\vect{v}_2}}\subseteq\spn{\set{\vect{v}_1,\,\vect{v}_2}}=X$.\\ Choose $\vect{y}\in Y$. Then there are scalars $a_1,\,a_2,\,a_3$ such that \begin{equation*} \vect{y}=a_1\vect{v}_1+a_2\vect{v}_2+a_3(5\vect{v}_1+3\vect{v}_2) \end{equation*} Rearranging, we obtain, \begin{align*} \vect{y}&=a_1\vect{v}_1+a_2\vect{v}_2+a_3(5\vect{v}_1+3\vect{v}_2)\\ &=a_1\vect{v}_1+a_2\vect{v}_2+5a_3\vect{v}_1+3a_3\vect{v}_2&&\knowl{./knowls/property.DVAC.knowl}{\text{Property DVAC}}\\ &=a_1\vect{v}_1+5a_3\vect{v}_1+a_2\vect{v}_2+3a_3\vect{v}_2&&\knowl{./knowls/property.CC.knowl}{\text{Property CC}}\\ &=(a_1+5a_3)\vect{v}_1+(a_2+3a_3)\vect{v}_2&&\knowl{./knowls/property.DSAC.knowl}{\text{Property DSAC}}\\ \end{align*} This is an expression for $\vect{y}$ as a linear combination of $\vect{v}_1$ and $\vect{v}_2$, earning $\vect{y}$ membership in $X$. Since $X$ is a subset of $Y$, and vice versa, we see that $X=Y$, as desired.
