Let $M,N$be linear subspaces $L$ then how can we prove that the following map $(M+N)/N\to M/M\cap N$ defined by $m+n+N\mapsto m+M\cap N$ is surjective? Originally, I need to prove that this map is bijection but I have already proven that this map is injective and well defined,but having hard time to prove surjectivity,please help.

Given an arbitrary element $x=m+M\cap N$ of $M/(M\cap N)$, note that $m+N\in (M+N)/N$ is mapped to $x$.

Define $T: M \to (M+N)/N$ by $m \mapsto m+N$. Show that it is linear and onto. Check the $\ker T$ and is $M\cap N$ by the first isomorphism theorem $f:M/(M\cap N) \to (M+N)/N$ is an isomorphism.
