You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can flip "I'll exercise if I don't eat too much" into "IF I don't eat too much, THEN I'll exercise"


The basic form of an IF...,THEN ... statement is P --> Q

So because P="I eat too much,", this means that ~P = "I do NOT eat too much"


Also, Q="I'll exercise.", which means that the answer is ~P --> Q

Note: you may see a different symbol that replaces the "-->"
