actually the $=$ sign was the correct one. Now, your proof is wrong; in fact it does not make any sense at all. Saying that $A \Rightarrow B$ does not mean anything if A and B are sets.

The correct proof is the one you wrote originally :
\[A\cup (B\cap C)\]
\[= \{x:x\in A\text{ or }x\in (B\cap C)\}\]
\[= \{x:x\in A\text{ or }(x\in B\text{ and }x\in C)\}\]
\[= \{x:(x\in A\text{ or }x\in B)\text{ and }(x\in A or x\in C)\}\]
\[= \{x:x\in A\cup B\text{ and }x\in A\cup C\}\]
\[= \{x:x\in (A\cup B)\cap(A\cup C)\}\]
\[= (A\cup B)\cap (A\cup C)\]
\[[proved]\]
