To prove the validity of the argument, we can use a logical inference rule known as Disjunction Elimination (also called Proof by Cases).
Here is the proof:
1) A & (A v B) Premise2) A Conjunction Elimination (1)3) B v C Premise4) A v B Addition (2)5) B Disjunction Elimination (3,4)
Therefore, the argument is valid.
