So the first two are separate conditional statements?

anonymous · Answer

yes and from which i derived the conclusion statement
aRc=aRb+bRc

anonymous · Answer

where R is relation and a is condition 1 and b is condition 2 and c is condition 3

anonymous · Answer

Condition 3 is the combination of the first two. And...I need to remember that equation as well?

anonymous · Answer

no i just thought it would be nice to give u an equation to work with but that equation is not general for all cases

Oh. Ok. Thank you :)
