Indifference means equality of the representing utility values. Since $U_0(\lambda )>U_0(\mu )>U_0(\nu )$, setApplying the affine function identity gives $U_0(p\lambda +(1-p)\nu )=U_0(\mu )$, so $\mu \sim p\lambda +(1-p)\nu$. This proves mixture solvability of affine preferences. The displayed weight is unique because the two endpoint utilities differ.
