Question 1089734: Help! I need this badly. Use rules of inference and replacement. Thaaaanks!
P > A
X > B
/(P v X) > (A v B)

1.   P—>A                    Premise
2.   X—>B                    Premise
3.   (P v X) —> (A v B)      This follows directly by Constructive Dilemma (CD)

===================================
I think this proves it the long way…

10.  A v B                   1,2,3 Proof By Cases (PBC)  { Discharges CP assumptions }       
11.  (P v X) —> (A v B)      1,2  CP
