If $U$ is a subspace of $Bbb R^n$ and let $x,yin Bbb R^n$ with $(x+y)in U$ then is it true that $xin U$ and $yin U$.
It looks like it is true since x+y follows under addition, under multiplication and the trivial solution zero vector but I would like a formal interpretation, thank you for your answers

    Take $U$ to be the zero subspace. Take $x$ to be a non zero vector. Take $y$ to be $-x$.

No. Its not true. Here is a counterexample. Suppose we are in $mathbb{R} ^2$. Take $x=(1, 0),y=(0,1)$ and let $U=span(1,1)$. Then $x+yin U$ but neither $x$ nor $y$ is.

    Note that every vector subspace contains zero vector. Now let $$U={lambda (1,0,0,....,0)in Bbb R^n :lambdain Bbb R}.$$ Then $(0,-1,0,0,....,0),(0,1,0,0,....,0)$ are not in $U$ but there sum is $(0,0,0,....,0)=0(1,0,0,....,0)in U$.
