I'm stuck on what to put for step 7. Thank you!

  1. Horned(c) → (Elusive(c) ∧ Dangerous(c))
  2. (Elusive(c) ∨ Mythical(c)) → Rare(c)
  3. Mammal(c) → ¬Rare(c)

    1. Horned(c)
      1. Mammal(c)
      2. ¬Rare(c) (→ Elim 5, 3)
      3. ?
      4. ⊥ (Rule ?)

    9.¬Mammal(c) (¬Intro 5-8)

Goal 10. Horned(c) → ¬Mammal(c)

You need more than just 1 more step, but you are almost there:

  1. $Elusive(c) \land Dangerous(c) \: (\rightarrow Elim 1,4)$

  2. $Elusive(c) \: (\land Elim \: 7)$

  3. $Elusive(c) \lor Mythical(c) \: (\lor Intro \: 8)$

  4. $Rare(c) \: (\rightarrow Elim \: 2,9)$

  5. $\bot \: (\bot Intro \: 6, 10)$
