So I am trying to finish up my discrete math homework, but I am completely stumped as to how I am supposed to solve this problem. My teacher wants me to find a logically equivalent equation for p v q that does not include exclusive or, implication, or inclusive or (aka she wants me to use only negation and ands). I don't want any answers, for I need to do my homework myself. But please any examples or help would be GREATLY appreciated. I feel as though there is a simple way to do this going right over my head.

    use only negation and ands Hint: De Morgan's laws. – dxiv Aug 29 '17 at 04:19

    OH wow it was that easy to just apply a double negation. Facepalm. Thank you very much for pointing this out to me. I appreciate it! – SlackStack Aug 29 '17 at 04:23

    @dxiv That hint is the type of answer sought. Post it as one. – Graham Kemp Aug 29 '17 at 04:29

    @GrahamKemp The OP said I don't want any answers ;-) Seriously now, I am just glad that my hint clicked. If the OP chooses to write a self-answer (which btw is perfectly acceptable around here) then I'll be the first one to upvote. – dxiv Aug 29 '17 at 04:33
