Think about it.

Since all of Y is in Z, intersecting it with X would require that the elements of XnY are in X, Y, and Z.
Intersecting Z with X only requires that the elements of that set are in X and Z.

So, the first is a stricter set than the second, hence we can say it is a subset of the second.
