    1 (b) ∀ (A (x) ⇒ B (x))

    2 (b) ∀ (B (x) ⇒ C (x))

    3 (b) ∀ (B (x) ⇒ E (x))

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1) Tofu is healthy

    2) Tofu is healthy to eat

    3) Tofu eats what taste good

    1a) For all x, if x is healthy to eat

    2a) For all x, if x is not healthy to eat, then x does not taste good.

    3a) For all x, if x is healthy to eat, then x is healthy to eat what tastes good

    For all x in order to symbolize the statement

    1 (a) 2 (a) 3 (a)

    If we use:

    A (x) : Tofu is healthy

    B (x) : Tofu is healthy to eat

    C (x) : Tofu eats what taste good

    E (x) : Tofu only eat what tastes good

    If we symbolize "For all x" by the symbol ∀ then then the propositions 1 (a), 2 (a) and 3 (a) can be written as:

    1 (b) ∀ (A (x) ⇒ B (x))

    2 (b) ∀ (B (x) ⇒ C (x))

    3 (b) ∀ (B (x) ⇒ E (x))
