$\sim\  E\ \&\ \sim\ F$
$F\ v\ \sim\ (J\ v\ K)$
$\sim\ (H\ \&\ K)\ \rightarrow\ H$
$H\ \&\ \sim\ E$

Answer

$(1)\ (H\ \&\ K)\ \rightarrow\ (J\ v\ K)$ $P$
$(2)\ \sim\ E\ \&\ \sim\  F$ $P$
$(3)\ F\ v\ \sim\ (J\ v\ k)$ $P$
$(4)\ \sim\ (H\ \&\ K)\ \rightarrow\ H$ $P/ H\ \&\ \sim\ E$
$(5)\ \sim\  F$ $2,$ Simp.
$(6)\ \sim\  (J\ v\ k)$ $3, 5, DS$
$(7)\ \sim\ (H\ K)$ $1, 6, MT$
