Let $R$, $S$, and $T$ be subspaces of a vector space.
I was able to show that $(R \cap T)+(S \cap T) \subseteq (R+S) \cap T$.

So my question now is: When will equality happen without using the other inclusion?

    Since it was established that $(R \cap T)+(S \cap T) \subseteq (R+S) \cap T$. I mean not to use this inclusion $(R \cap T)+(S \cap T) \supseteq (R+S) \cap T$ to establish the equality. In other words, what should be the sufficient hypothesis for it to be equal. Thanks.2012-12-11

    If your vector space is a finite dimensional vector space with an inner product, the two sides are the same.2012-12-12
