1.  (G -> H) -> J           :.  H -> J
--------------------------------------
2.  (~G v H) -> J                     1    Material Implication
3.  ~(~G v H) v J                     2    Material Implication
4.  (~~G * ~H) v J                    3    De Morgan's Law
5.  (G * ~H) v J                      4    Double Negation
6.  J v (G * ~H)                      5    Commutation
7.  (J v G) * (J v ~H)                6    Distribution
8.  (J v ~H) * (J v G)                7    Commutation
9.  J v ~H                            8    Simplification
10. ~H v J                            9    Commutation
11.  H -> J                           10   Material Implication
