Let $E, F \in \mathcal{F}$ such that $E \subseteq F$. Result R977: Ambient set is union of subset and complement of subset yields the decomposition $F = E \cup (F \setminus E)$. Applying R976: Finite disjoint additivity of unsigned basic measure to this union we then obtain \begin{equation} \mu(F) = \mu(E \cup (F \setminus E)) = \mu(E) + \mu(F \setminus E) \end{equation} Since $\mu \geq 0$, we conclude that \begin{equation} \mu(F) = \mu(E) + \mu(F \setminus E) \geq \mu(E) \end{equation} $\square$
