Algebra.Com's Answer #185034 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If we use the addition property, we go from A -> B to (A -> B) V ~C (the \"V\" stands for 'or' and \"~\" stands for 'not')\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange the terms to get ~C V (A -> B) and then use material implication to get C -> (A -> B). From here, use exportation to get (C & A) -> B and then use commutation to get (A & C) -> B. This derivation is pretty straightforward, but the only trick here is the addition of ~C. \n" ); document.write( " |
