18. Solution Reason x + x = ( x + x ) 1 Basic identity (b) = ( x + x ) ( x + x’) Basic identity (a) = x + xx’ Distributive (b) = x + 0 Basic identity (b) = x Basic identity (a)
19. Solution Reason x . x = xx + 0 Basic identity (a) = xx + xx’ Basic identity (b) = x (x + x’ ) Distributive (a) = x . 1 Basic identity (a) = x Basic identity (b)
