Commutative Algebra, chapter VI, § 7. Approximation theorem

*For every family of elements γi∈Γi\gamma_i \in \Gamma_i (1≤i≤n1 \leq i \leq n), there exists x∈Kx \in K such that vi(x)=γiv_i(x) = \gamma_i (1≤i≤n1 \leq i \leq n).

We may assume that Ai≠KA_i \neq K for all ii. Then, there exists for all ii an ai∈Ka_i \in K such that vi(ai)=γiv_i(a_i) = \gamma_i and an ar∈Γra_r \in \Gamma_r such that γi<ar\gamma_i < a_r. We apply Theorem 1 to these elements aia_i: there exists x∈Kx \in K such that vi(x−ai)>vi(ai)v_i(x - a_i) > v_i(a_i); whence, as x=ai+(x−ai)x = a_i + (x - a_i), vi(x)=vi(ai)=γiv_i(x) = v_i(a_i) = \gamma_i (§3§ 3, no. 1, Proposition 1).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
