Why does ∀i∈I:x∈B∧x∉Ai equal to x∈B ∧ ∀i∈I:x∉Ai. how to drag the x∈B out from inside the universal quantifier. Isn't it equal to (∀i∈I:x∈B) ∧ (∀i∈I:x∉Ai) instead of x∈B ∧ ∀i∈I:x∉Ai?

How to justify that x∈B ⟺ ∀i∈I:x∈B

$∀i∈I:x∈B ∧ x∉A_i$ is equivalent to : $∀i (i∈I \to (x∈B ∧ x∉A_i))$ that in turn is equivalent to : $∀i (i∈I \to x∈B) ∧ ∀i (i∈I \to x∉A_i)$.
Thus, the issue is to show that :
Two cases :
(i) $x \in B$ is TRUE. Thus, by truth-table for conditional (i.e. $\to$) $(i∈I \to x∈B)$ holds, for $i$ whatever.
(ii) $x \in B$ is FALSE.
We assume that $I$ is not empty: in this case, $j \in I$, for some $j$.
Thus $(j∈I \to x∈B)$ is FALSE and thus $∀i(i∈I \to x∈B)$ is FALSE.
The only issue is when $I = \emptyset$.
