Suppose there is a δ>0\delta > 0 such that f(x)=g(x)f(x)=g(x) when 0<xa<δ0<|x-a|<\delta. Without loss of generality, let limxaf(x)=l\lim_{x \to a} f(x)=l. Choose any ϵ>0\epsilon > 0. By definition, there exists δ>0\delta' > 0 such that

0<xa<δ    f(x)l<ϵ.0<|x-a|<\delta' \implies |f(x)-l|<\epsilon.

Let δ=min(δ,δ)\delta''=\min(\delta',\delta). We thus have

0<xa<δ    f(x)l<ϵandg(x)l<ϵ.0<|x-a|<\delta'' \implies |f(x)-l|<\epsilon \quad\text{and}\quad |g(x)-l|<\epsilon.

Hence,

limxaf(x)=limxag(x)=l.\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = \lim_{x \to a} g(x) = l.
