Proofs I

Construct proofs for each of the following arguments without using conditional proof or indirect proof. Convention: "///" separates the premises from the conclusion. You may do these with  paper and pencil, or you may download and use the general purpose proof form.

  1. ~K, C (A & B), K v C, /// A & B
  2. A B, B A, B, /// A & B
  3. R & (A C), C B, /// A B
  4. (C v D), ~(C v D), /// B v ~A
  5. H (K L), N M, N, /// (K L) v M
  6. (H B) & (J A), R & (H v J), /// B v A
  7. A v ~B, ~A, /// ~A & ~B
  8. K L, L M, (K M) M, /// M
  9. A B, A v ~Z, ~B /// ~Z
  10. L (M P), (P R) v ~(M P), R & ~(P R) /// ~L v (M P)
  11. C v ~E, ~E (B & ~C), T ~C, C E, ~C /// B
  12. L (M R),  (~L S), (~S & M), (Q T)  /// (R v T)
  13. (R P) v ~S, (R P) (A & ~B), ~S P, ~P  /// ~B
  14. (A & B), L (B U), (A v R) L /// U
  15. (~A & B) C, ~P B, ~S, (~P & ~A) v S /// C v (A v B)
  16. (P v ~Q) v ~R, (S v  T) ~~R, ~P & S /// ~Q
  17. R (~B ~C), ((L v ~Q) & R), (L ~R), (~Q Z) /// (~C v Z)
