LHS=((bc(1+c)(1+a)+ac(1+b)(1+a)+ab(1+b)(1+c))/(abc(1+a)(1+b)(1+c))) =((ab(1+c+b+bc)+bc(1+a+c+ca)+ca(1+a+b+ab))/(abc(1+a)(1+b)(1+c))) =((ab+abc+ab^2 +ab^2 c+bc+abc+bc^2 +abc^2 +ca+ca^2 +abc+a^2 bc)/(abc(1+a)(1+b)(1+c))) ((3abc+ab+bc+ca+ab^2 +bc^2 +ca^2 +a^2 bc+ab^2 c+abc^2 )/(abc(1+a)(1+b)(1+c))) Continue
