Answer 8

So there are two laws. Law of Syllogism and Law of Detachment.
Law of Syllogism is where
if p =>q then q=>r
Example:
1) If it snows today, then I will wear my gloves.

2) If I wear my gloves, my fingers will get itchy.

Let p be the statement "it snows today", let q be the statement "I wear my gloves", and let r be the statement "my fingers get itchy".

Law of Detachment is where

if p ➡ q is a true conditional statement and p is true, than q is true
Example:
1) If you are a penguin, then you live in the Southern Hemisphere.

2) You are a penguin.

Let p be the statement "you are a penguin", let q be the statement "you live in the Southern Hemisphere".
