Penrose should have suggested "multiply by (c-id)/(c-id)" as part of his assignment in the book, rather than saying "multiply by c-id," which threw me into the weeds.

Penrose should have suggested "multiply by (c-id)/(c-id)" as part of his assignment in the book, rather than saying "multiply by c-id," which threw me into the weeds.There is no real difference between multiplying throughout by c-id and multiplying the LHS by (c-id)/(c-id).
