Concept:

If \(\vec a, \vec b, \vec c \) are any non-zero vector then

\([ \vec a \; \vec b\; \vec c]= \vec a. ( \vec b \times \vec c) ....(1)\)

Calculation: 

Given, \([ \vec a, \; \vec b + \vec c, \; \vec a + \vec b + \vec c]\)

\(= \vec a. [(\vec b + \vec c) \times ( \vec a + \vec b + \vec c)]\)

\(= \vec a. {[ \vec b \times \vec a + \vec b \times \vec b + \vec b \times \vec c + \vec c \times \vec a + \vec c \times \vec b + \vec c \times \vec c]}\)

\(= \vec a. {[ \vec b \times \vec a + \vec b \times \vec c + \vec c \times \vec a + \vec c \times \vec b ]}\)

\(=[ \vec a \; \vec b\; \vec a] + [ \vec a \; \vec b\; \vec c] + [ \vec a \; \vec c\; \vec a]+ [ \vec a \; \vec c\; \vec b]\)

\((since [ \vec a \; \vec b\; \vec a]= 0)\)

\([ \vec a \; \vec b\; \vec c] - [ \vec a \; \vec b\; \vec c]\)

= 0
