If the sum of Lebesgue outer measures on the right is infinite, the inequality is automatic. Otherwise, fix and cover each by a countable family of intervals whose total length is less than . These covers exist by the definition of infimum. The combined countable family covers and has total length at most . Take the infimum over covers of the union, then let tend to zero. No measurability assumption on the is needed.
