My thought

For the first direction of the first part, we assume that $f$ is integrable.

From the definition that means $f$ is bounded and we have \begin{align} &\iint_Rf(x)dA\\ =&\underline{\iint_R}f(x)dA&&=\overline{\iint_R}f(x)dA\\ =&\sup_PL_Pf&&=\inf_PU_Pf\\ =&\sup_P\sum_{i=1}^{JK}m_i\text{area}(R_i)&&=\inf_P\sum_{i=1}^{JK}M_i\text{area}(R_i)\\ =&\sup_P\sum_{i=1}^{JK}\inf\{f(x):x\in R_i\}\text{area}(R_i)&&=\inf_P\sum_{i=1}^{JK}\sup\{f(x):x\in R_i\}\text{area}(R_i)\\ =&\sup_P\sum_{i=1}^{JK}\inf\{f(x):x\in R_i\}(x_j-x_{j-1})(y_k-y_{k-1})&&=\inf_P\sum_{i=1}^{JK}\sup\{f(x):x\in R_i\}(x_j-x_{j-1})(y_k-y_{k-1}) \end{align} However, I still can't tell how to conclude $$\inf\left\{\iint_RgdA:g(x)\ge f(x)\text{ for all }x\in R\right\} =\sup\left\{\iint_RhdA:h(x)\le f(x)\text{ for all }x\in R\right\}$$ from this condition, and I don't get another direction too, could someone help me.
