linear algebra - spaces and subspaces
$begingroup$
Let $U ne {0}$ be a sub-space of a finite-dimensional vector space $V$. Assume that there exists a unique subspace $W subset V$, such that $V = U oplus W$. Prove that $U = V$.
I don't know how to start. please give me some guidelines...

Please do not ask questions that consist only of a problem statement and "I don't know how to start." These don't make good questions and they aren't a good fit for this site. See the advice here.

Prove that $W$ is also a subspace of $V$, then by uniqueness of $U$, it must be that $W = U$ or $W = {0}$.
