Good. Bonus question : Does this equation satisfy for all x ?
x = 0
Let w = x − a + x − b + x − c . The equation now becomes: w x b 1 + w x c 1 + w x a 1 Using exponent rules, we can rewrite this as: w − 1 x − b + w − 1 x − c + w − 1 x − a Notice that we can factor out the w and use substitution. w − 1 ( x − a + x − b + x − c ) = w − 1 ( w ) = w w = 1

x a + c ( 1 + x b − c + x b − a ) x a + c + x a + b ( 1 + x c − a + x c − b ) x a + b + x b + c ( 1 + x a − b + x a − c ) x b + c
= x a + c + x a + b + x b + c x a + c + x a + b + x b + c + x a + c x a + b + x b + c + x a + c + x a + b x b + c
= x a + c + x a + b + x b + c x a + c + x a + b + x b + c
= 1
