[SOLVED] Simplifying Expressions
Hello all I am a bit confused about the laws I am learning about right now and attempted some of my own exercises to understand them a bit.
I have the problem NOT(a < 20 AND (b < 10 OR b > 10)) and I need to simplify it.
From my understanding I can use DeMorgan's Law which then gives me the expression NOT a < 20 OR NOT(b < 10 OR b > 10). I can then use the Distributive Property to create the expression (NOT a < 20 OR NOT b < 10) AND (NOT a < 20 OR NOT b > 10).
What I am confused about is after I use DeMorgan's Law the first time is it correct to use the Distributive Law next? Or should I have used DeMorgan's Law again?
