The question requires to prove is that if T or D are true, R is false

Should I use Disjunction Elimination?

1 ~ A ⊂ [ A ∨ ( T ⊂ R ) ] imposition

2 ~ R ⊂ [ R ∨ (A ⊂ R) ] imposition

3 (T ∨ D) ⊂ ~ R imposition

4 (A ∨ (T ⊂ R)) ∨ ~ A (DeMorgan's Law)

5 (A ∨ (T ⊂ R)) ⊂ ~ A (Contrapositive)

6 T ⊂ R ⊂ ~ A
(Modus Ponens to (1,5))

7 ~ A ⊂ ~ R (Contrapositive)

8 T ⊂ ~ R (Modus Ponens to(6, 7))

9 (T ∨ D) ⊂ ~ R (Modus Ponens to (3, 8))

Can you explain the meaning of all your symbols? I'm familiar with "=>" for "implies" and "∈" to me means set containment, as 1 is contained in the set of integers.

What is "/"? Is the picture all the givens?
