$$p \rightarrow q \\ r \lor s \\ \lnot s \rightarrow \lnot t \\ \lnot q \lor s \\ \lnot s \\ \lnot p \land r \rightarrow u \\ w \lor t$$

Is this a valid argument to deduce the conclusion from the premises? I want to understand the argument above. Can you please explain it to me with reasons for each step? Thank you.
