Consider the following code:

van_der_Waals := (p + a / V[m]^2) * (V[m] - b) = R * T:
expand(van_der_Waals);

The objective of the exercise is express the equation in a cubic form. Obvious solution is to take the output of the code above and multiplie both sides by V[m]^2. However, I would like to know if there exists a different aproach to get the same result.
