If $Asubseteq B$, then $A'subseteq B'$
$begingroup$
Proof or counterexample: If $Asubseteq B$, then $A'subseteq B'$.
I have no idea where to start. Only thing I know is the definition of limit points.
$A'$ is the set of all limit points of $A$.

Have you tried the standard pattern of showing inclusions? By that I mean: Start with „Let $x$ be in $A^prime$. This means X. We want to show that $x$ is in $B^prime$. We know that Y holds.“ and see how you can connect the argument by using the definitions.

If $xin A'$, then for every open neighborhood $U$ of $x$, there exists point $y_U in U$ such that $y_Uin Asetminus{x}$. As $Asubseteq B$, $y_Uin B$. What conclusion can you make?
Therefore, for every open neighborhood $U$ of $x$, the point $y_Uin U$ is a point distinct from $x$ that is also in $B$. By the definition of limit points, $x$ must be a limit point of $B$, whence $A'subseteq B'$.

Hint: argue by the contrapositive: that is, show that if $x not in B'$, then $x not in A'$.
Take $x not in B'$. Therefore, there is an open neighbourhood $U$ of $x$ with $U setminus {x} cap B = emptyset$. Hence $U setminus {x} cap A subset U setminus {x} cap B = emptyset$, and so $U setminus {x} cap A = emptyset$, or equivalently $x not in A'$.
