Disturbance of self-adjoint operator

Assume that $ A $ is self-adjoint operator and $ B $ is a bounded self-adjoint operator. The definite domain of $ A,B $, denoted by $ D(A) $ and $ D(B) $ satisfies $ D(A)\subset D(B) $. Show that \begin{align*} \operatorname{dist}(\sigma(A),\sigma(A+B))\leq \|B\|, \end{align*} where $ \sigma(A) $ and $ \sigma(A+B) $ are the spectrums of $ A $, $ A+B $ and $ \|B\| $ is the operator norm of $ B $.

It can be obtained by utilizing the Kato-Rellich theorem that $ A+B $ is also a self-adjoint operator. However I cannot go on since the decomposition of $ A $ and $ A+B $ are not the same. Can you give me some hints or refereces?
