1.  (E . V) v ( M . U)
2.  ~E                  / M
--------------------------------------
3.  [(E.V)vM] . [(E.V)vU]             1      Distribution
4.  (E.V)vM                           3      Simplification
5.  M v (E.V)                         4      Commutation
6.  (M v E) . (M v V)                 5      Distribution
7.  M v E                             6      Simplification
8.  E v M                             7      Commutation
9.  M                                 8,2    Disjunctive Syllogism
