Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VIII, § 12. Chevalley orders

If x,y∈Ax, y\in A and n∈Nn\in \mathbf{N},

(adnxnx! )ny=∑(−1)qxpp^ny=\sum(-1)^qxp^p! yxqqyxq^q! = ∑(−1)qx(p)yx(q)\sum(-1)^qx^{(p)}yx^{(q)}. (11)

p+q=np+q=np+q=np+q=n

Indeed, if we denote by LxL_x and RxR_x the maps z→xzz \rightarrow xz and z→zxz \rightarrow zx from A to A, we have, since LxL_x and RxR_x commute,

n1n1!(ad xx)n=n1^n=n1!(Lx−Rx)n=∑p+q=n(−1)qp1(L_x-R_x)^n=\sum_{p+q=n}(-1)^qp1! Lxpq1L^p_xq1! RxqR^q_x.

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.
