Each clause is checked directly: differences are sums with the multiple by -1, the line is a class abstraction of a predicative condition whose witnesses lie in V, and coefficients are compared through the absence of zero divisors.
The condition "there is with " quantifies only over the set variable , and is an equation between and a value of the scalar multiplication; so the condition is predicative, with parameters , and the scalar multiplication. By Class Abstraction: the Class of All Sets Satisfying a Predicative Formula (i), for every set we have if and only if there is with .
Now let be a class. If , then is a set by Classes, Membership, Sets and Proper Classes (i), and the equivalence for sets gives . Conversely, if with , then , because the scalar multiplication of Vector Space over a Field is a function from to ; so is a set by Classes, Membership, Sets and Proper Classes (i), and the equivalence for sets gives .
