Answer
The given compound statement can be written in simple statements as \[p\text{ and }q\]. Here, \[p\text{ and }q\]represent two simple statements.
p: You can get rid of the family skeleton.
q: You may as well make it dance.
Use the representation to rewrite the statement as follows:
If not p, q.
“If-then” is represented by the symbol “\[\to \],” and “Not” is represented by the symbol “\[\sim \].”
Use the symbols to write the compound statement in symbolic form as follows:
\[\tilde{\ }p\to q\]
