5 Lined Rules of Inference Question












-1












$begingroup$


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].
