For the first <set inclusion>, take $x\in A\setminus(A\setminus B)$. Then $x\in A$ but $x\notin A\setminus B$. Since membership in $A$ is already known, failure to lie in that <relative complement> forces $x\in B$. Hence $x\in A\cap B$.

Conversely, if $x\in A\cap B$, then $x\in A$ and its membership in $B$ excludes it from $A\setminus B$. Therefore $x\in A\setminus(A\setminus B)$. The two inclusions prove the stated equality with the <set intersection>.
