Proving the Boolean expression $(a'+b')((b'+c)+b'c) = b'+a'c$

33 Views Asked by At

Im trying to prove $(a'+b')((b'+c)+b'c) = b'+a'c$ and I am stuck on the second half. I know I need to get it to $(a'+b')(b'+c)$ to use the Distributive Property of OR over AND, but I cant seem to workout how to transform $((b'+c)+b'c)$ to $(b'+c)$. Any ideas?

$b'+c+b'c=b'(1+c)+c=b'+c$, because $1+c=1$.
