There is something I am stuck on and I would greatly appreciate some help on it! Say S is a semialgebra of subsets of X and A the algebra generated by S. I know that every element in A can be written as a finite union of elements from S. How do I show that in fact I can write it as a disjoint union of elements from S?

Thanks!
