The theorem states that if a $c$ distribution $D$ is invlutive on $M^d$ then there is a only one integral submanifold $N$ and local charts $(z_1,...z_n)$ such that $N$ is the slice where $z_i=const$, $i=c+1,...,d$.



So for $p=2$ I choose a neighborhood $U$ of $p$ and write $D$ as $span<X_1,X_2>$, where $X_i$ are smooths vector field on $U$ and then use a lemma that states that i can found a neighborhood $V subset U$ and local charts $(y_1,...,y_d)$ such that $X_1=partial/partial y_1$.



so i write a new vector field
$Y_1=x_1$
$Y_2=X_2-Y_2(y_1)Y_1$



and as $Y_2$ doesn't depend on $y_1$ ($Y_2(y_1)=0$), and so i can afirm that $Y_2^'$ spans a 1-dimensional distribuition on the slice S where $y_1=const$.



Applying the Lemma used before on $Y_2$ we find a new coordinates chart of a neighborhod of $p$
$(A,x_1,...,x_n)$ such that $Y_2=partial/ partial x_2$ on $A$



My doubt is that if I can say on $Acap U$ $partial y_1/partial x_i=0$ if $i=2,...n$ and so $X_1=partial/partial x_1$ and the theorem is proved.



If not, how should i proceed?
