The task: to show that the argument is valid. It is, indeed. In 7 easy steps we deduce the conclusion.
- (z)(Lz ≡ Hz)
- (x)¬(Hx ∨¬ Bx)
- ∴¬ Lb
- (z)[(Lz ⊃Hz) • (Hz ⊃Lz)] ......... 1BE
- ¬(Hb ∨¬ Bb) ......... 2UI x/b
- ¬ Hb • Bb ......... 5DeM
- ¬ Hb ......... 6Simp.
- (Lb ⊃Hb) • (Hb ⊃Lb) ......... 4UI z/b
- Lb ⊃Hb ......... 8Simp.
- ¬ Lb ......... 7,9MT
