Algebra, VIII, p. 125, § 7. Simple Rings

Let K be a commutative field. If A is a simple subalgebra of an algebra B of finite degree over K, then the left degree of B over A satisfies the relation [B:A]s[A:K]=[B:K][B : A]_s[A : K] = [B : K] by Proposition 6 of VIII, p. 125. Likewise, we have [B:A]d[A:K]=[B:K][B : A]_d[A : K] = [B : K]. The equality [B:A]s=[B:A]d[B : A]_s= [B : A]_d follows.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
