Lemma 22.7.3. Let (A, \text{d}) be a differential graded algebra. Let
\xymatrix{ K \ar[r]_ f \ar[d]_ a & L \ar[d]^ b \\ M \ar[r]^ g & N }
be a diagram of homomorphisms of differential graded A-modules commuting up to homotopy.
If f is an admissible monomorphism, then b is homotopic to a homomorphism which makes the diagram commute.
If g is an admissible epimorphism, then a is homotopic to a morphism which makes the diagram commute.
Proof.
Let h : K \to N be a homotopy between bf and ga, i.e., bf - ga = \text{d}h + h\text{d}. Suppose that \pi : L \to K is a graded A-module map left inverse to f. Take b' = b - \text{d}h\pi - h\pi \text{d}. Suppose s : N \to M is a graded A-module map right inverse to g. Take a' = a + \text{d}sh + sh\text{d}. Computations omitted.
