Translations with cannot and without.

ccwilso4-1

I am having difficulty translating statements with both cannot and without. For example:
A business cannot change its core corporate philosophy without becoming a different corporation. Would I translate this as, [if a company changes its corporate philosophy-> then the company becomes a different corporation]?

Yes. When you have a sentence with both a group 3 indicator word (without) and a group 4 indicator word (cannot) you can follow either translation rule just remember to negate the other idea.

A business cannot change its core corporate philosophy without becoming a different corporation.

Group 4 Translation: Cannot
CCCP --> BDC
/BDC --> /CCCP

or

Group 3 Translation: Without
/BDC --> /CCCP
CCCP --> BDC
