1 Simplify exponent
ma2cr+acar+car+ar+r=vacar
2 Simplify exponent
ma2cr+a2cr+car+ar+r=vacar
3 Factor out the common term r
r(ma2c+a2c+ca+a+1)=vacar
4 Cancel r on both sides
ma2c+a2c+ca+a+1=vaca
5 Subtract a2c from both sides
ma2c+ca+a+1=vaca−a2c
6 Factor out the common term ca
ma2c+ca+a+1=ca(va−a)
7 Subtract ca from both sides
ma2c+a+1=ca(va−a)−ca
8 Factor out the common term ca
ma2c+a+1=ca(va−a−(1))
9 Subtract a from both sides
ma2c+1=ca(va−a−1)−a
10 Factor out the common term a
ma2c+1=a(c(va−a−1)−1)
11 Subtract 1 from both sides
ma2c=a(c(va−a−1)−1)−1
12 Divide both sides by a2
mc=a(c(va−a−1)−1)−1a2
13 Divide both sides by c
m=a(c(va−a−1)−1)−1a2c
