The author considers the equation \[ Au \equiv Bu + Ku =f, \tag{1} \] where \(B\) and \(K\) are linear bounded operators in a given Banach space \(H\). An approximate solution \(u_n\) to equation (1) is sought as a solution to the equation \[ Bu_n+P_nKu_n=P_n f, \tag{2} \] with \(P_n\) finite-dimensional projections onto subspaces \(H_n\) such that \(\bigcup H_n=H\). It is assumed that the operator \(B\) is invertible. It is shown that equation (2) is solvable whenever \(\|B^{-1}P_n K\|\leq c_{1}<1\), and that the operator \(A\) is invertible whenever \(\|(B+P_n K)^{-1}\|\leq c_2\) and \(\|(B+P_n K)^{-1}(K-P_nK)\|\leq c_3<1\) uniformly in \(n\). All the results are elementary consequences of the fixed point theorem.
