Using properties of scalar triple product, prove that `[(bar"a" + bar"b", bar"b" + bar"c", bar"c" + bar"a")] = 2[(bar"a", bar"b", bar"c")]`.

L.H.S = `[(bar"a" + bar"b", bar"b" + bar"c", bar"c" + bar"a")]`
= `(bar"a" + bar"b").[(bar"b" + bar"c") xx (bar"c" + bar"a")]`
= `(bar"a" + bar"b").[bar"b" xx bar"c" + bar"b" xx bar"a" + bar"c" xx bar"c" + bar"c" xx bar"a"]`
= `(bar"a" + bar"b").[bar"b" xx bar"c" + bar"b" xx bar"a" + bar"c" xx bar"a"] ...[∵ bar"c" xx bar"c" = bar"0"]`
= `bar"a".[(bar"b" xx bar"c") + (bar"b" xx bar"a") + (bar"c" xx bar"a")] + bar"b".[(bar"b" xx bar"c") + (bar"b" xx bar"a") + (bar"c" xx bar"a")]`
= `bar"a".(bar"b" xx bar"c") + bar"a".(bar"b" xx bar"a") + bar"a".(bar"c" xx bar"a") + bar"b".(bar"b" xx bar"c") + bar"b"(bar"b" xx bar"a") + bar"b"(bar"c" xx bar"a")`
= `[bar"a" bar"b" bar"c"] + [bar"a" bar"b" bar"a"] + [bar"a" bar"c" bar"a"] + [bar"b" bar"b" bar"c"] + [bar"b" bar"b" bar"a"] + [bar"b" bar"c" bar"a"]`
= `[bar"a" bar"b" bar"c"] + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + [bar"a" bar"b" bar"c"]`
= `2[bar"a" bar"b" bar"c"]`
= R.H.S
