  2. (T&Q)>P        /:.  (P>~Q)>~(R&Q)
Translations
Mnemonics for conditional translations:
If P then Q; Q if P = P>Q. Rule: Whatever immediately follows the 'if' comes first.
P only if Q; Only if Q, P = ~Q>~P. Rule: Whatever follows 'only if' is negated then put first, the other proposition is negated and put after the '>'.
Unless P, Q; Q unless P = ~P>Q. Rule: Whatever follows 'unless' is negated and put first. Think of 'unless' as 'if not P'.
Other mnemonics:
Neither P nor Q= (~P&~Q)
P or Q but not both=(PvQ)&~(P&Q)

Practice
A. Unless you bring me either peanut butter COOKIES or DONUTS you won't get any BONUS points.
