Your Input

Simplify the boolean expression $$$\left(A \cdot B\right) + \left(B \cdot C\right) + \left(A \cdot \overline{C}\right)$$$.

Solution

Apply the consensus law $$$\left(x \cdot y\right) + \left(\overline{x} \cdot z\right) + \left(y \cdot z\right) = \left(x \cdot y\right) + \left(\overline{x} \cdot z\right)$$$ with $$$x = C$$$, $$$y = B$$$, and $$$z = A$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\left(A \cdot B\right) + \left(B \cdot C\right) + \left(A \cdot \overline{C}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\left(C \cdot B\right) + \left(\overline{C} \cdot A\right)\right)}$$

Answer

$$$\left(A \cdot B\right) + \left(B \cdot C\right) + \left(A \cdot \overline{C}\right) = \left(C \cdot B\right) + \left(\overline{C} \cdot A\right)$$$
