Since you almost never have a sentence like "x is in A" without an additional clause, it shouldn't be hard to reverse the order of the sentence. For example, "u and v are harmonic since f is analytic" could be changed to "As f is analytic, u and v are necessarily harmonic" or a number of variants thereof (since, as a consequence of, by virtue of).

If there is some case where you would actually want a standalone like "x is in A" --- for example after a long lemma establishing that x is in A --- one could use flashier phrases, e.g. to wit, that is to say, whence etc.

Good writing is a lot like good mathematics: it's more art than science.
