5 Lined Rules of Inference Question
$begingroup$
Use the rules of inference together with basic
logical equivalences to show that the following argument is valid. Name the
rule you use at each step.
w ∨ ¬z → r
s ∨ ¬w
¬t
z → t
¬z ∧ r → ¬s
—————–
∴ ¬w
I'm really not sure how to work through this problem, I've never worked on a 5 line inference question so I'm not sure how to grasp this.

Hint
With $lnot t$ and $z to t$ derive $lnot z$ [with Modus tollens].
With $lnot z$ and $w ∨ ¬z → r$ derive $r$ [with Addition and Modus ponens].
With $r$ and $lnot z$ and $¬z ∧ r → ¬s$ derive $lnot s$ [with Conjunction and Modus ponens].
With $lnot s$ and $s ∨ ¬w$ derive $¬w$ [with Disjunctive syllogism].
