You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If q is true, then ~q is false (~q is the opposite of q).


If p is false and ~q is false, then p V ~q is false (p v q is only false when both p and q are false)


If r is true, then ~r is false (same reasoning as above).


So if (p V ~q) is false and if ~r is false, then (p V ~q) <--> ~r is true


Note: p <--> q is true when BOTH p AND q share the same truth value. So if they're true together (or false together), then the entire thing is true. It's almost like <--> is an equals sign.
