    Math: Formal proof

    Ive beem beating my head against the wall trying to make a formal proof for this problem

    (p v q) -> r
    (q v r) -> (~s v t)
    p ^ s
    .: t

    I havent been able to find any good help online and im just not getting anywhere so if anyone good at logic can help me id appreciate it.

                          .: this is just a formula terminator so not relevant

                            Thats actually logic..
                            lets see if we can do it together..

                            p or q if then r on line 1. but i believe it becomes an and because its in bracktes, so p&q if then r for line 1

                            q or r if then it is not the case the s is x or t
                            p and s
                            therefore t.

                            shit man,, i forget which rule it is but you need to flip the first one around and change the cotraction to a conjunction to get the T by itself, then flip the entire second line but change the negative quantifier. then deduce and you should get your conclusion.
                            hope this helps
