p q

((p V q) ∧ ~ q) → p

~ is negation, ~T gets an F and ~F gets a T
V is disjunction. F V F gets an F, everything else gets a T.
∧ is conjunction. T ∧ T gets a T, everything else gets an F.
→ is conditional. T → F gets an F, everything else gets a T. 

((p V q) ∧ ~ q) → p

 p | q | p V q | ~q | (p V q) ∧ ~ q || ((p V q) ∧ ~ q) → p |
 T | T |   T   |  F |         F     ||                 T   |
 T | F |   T   |  T |         T     ||                 T   |
 F | T |   T   |  F |         F     ||                 T   |
 F | F |   F   |  T |         F     ||                 T   |

Since it came out TTTT, all T's it is a tautology, always true.
