a unless b but only if c.For instance, a -> (b -> c) simplifies to a + -b -> -c. What about (-a -> b) -> c. How can I simplify it?
To simplify: (-a -> b) -> c, think of the expression (-a -> b) as y. That is, y=(-a -> b). Then, we get
y -> c,
or, -c -> -y (taking contrapositive)
or, -c -> (-a -> b)
or, -c AND -a -> b -

A -> (B->C) = A and not B -> C
