The expression in the image is:

\[
\frac{1}{1 + \log_a bc} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_b ac} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_c ab} = 1
\]

We are tasked with proving that this equation is true.

### Step-by-Step Proof:

1. **Change of base using logarithmic identities**: 

   We know that \( \log_a bc \) can be expressed using logarithmic properties:
   \[
   \log_a bc = \log_a b + \log_a c
   \]
   Similarly, we apply this rule for the other terms:
   \[
   \log_b ac = \log_b a + \log_b c
   \]
   \[
   \log_c ab = \log_c a + \log_c b
   \]

2. **Using the reciprocal property of logarithms**:
   
   Recall the property: 
   \[
   \log_a b = \frac{1}{\log_b a}
   \]
   We can use this property to simplify the expressions.

   Now apply these substitutions and simplifications to the equation step by step.

Prove that \frac{1}{1 + \log_a bc} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_b ac} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_c ab} = 1.

This proof demonstrates how to simplify the logarithmic expression \frac{1}{1 + \log_a bc} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_b ac} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_c ab} = 1. It uses logarithmic properties and the reciprocal property of logarithms, making it ideal for high school students in Grades 10-12.
