Apply the Distributive Property:

[color=beige]. . [/color]$(\overline p \,\vee\,\overline q) \:\wedge\: (p\,\vee\,\overline q) \;=\; (\overline p\,\wedge\,p)\:\vee\:\overline q$

[color=beige]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[/color]$= \;\;\;\; f \:\vee\:\overline q$

[color=beige]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[/color]$=\;\;\;\; \;\;\; \overline q$
