General Topology, chapter IX, § 2. Metric spaces and metrizable spaces

The statements d(x,A)=0d(x, A) = 0 and x∈A‾x \in \overline{A} are equivalent.

For d(x,A)=0d(x, A) = 0 expresses the fact that the ball Va(x)V_a(x) meets AA whatever the value of a>0a > 0; and this is equivalent to x∈A‾x \in \overline{A}.

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