1.  E > (S > T)
2.  (~L * M) > (S * E)
3.  ~(T v L)                    // ~M
-------------------------------------------------------
4.   (E * S) >T
5.   ~T * ~L
6.   ~T
7.   ~(E * S)
8.   ~(S * E)                    7       Commutation
9.   ~(~L * M)                   2,8     Modus Tollens
10.  ~~L v ~M                    9       De Morgan's Law
11.  L v ~M                      10      Double Negation
12.  ~L * ~T                     5       Commutation
13.  ~L                          12      Simplification
14.  ~M                          11,13   Disjunctive Syllogism
