`Let" " vecr=x_(1)veca+x_(2)vecb+x_(3)veccRightarrow vecr.(vecbxxvecc)=x_(1)veca.(vecbxxvecc)or x_(1)=([vecr vecb vecc])/([veca vecb vecc])`.
`Also, " " vecr.(veccxxveca)=x_(2)vecb.(veccxxveca)orx_(2)=([vecrveccveca])/([vecavecbvecc])`
`and vecr.(vecaxxvecb)=x_(3)vecc. (vecaxxvecb)or x_(3)=([vecr vecavecb])/([veca vecbvecc])`
`Rightarrow vecr=([vecrvecb vecc])/([vecavecbvecc])veca+([vecrveccveca])/([vecavecbvecc])vecb+([vecrvecavecb])/([vecavecb vecc])vecc`
`or [vecbveccvecr]veca+[veccvecavecr]vecb+[vecavecbvecr]vecr=[vecavecbvecc]vecr`
