Let x∈R\{0,1} and y=1−x1 and z=1−x1. It is easy to see that together with x, y and thus also z belong to R\{0,1}. Substituting y and z into the original equation leads to:
f(1−x1)+f(1−x1)=2−x1 and f(1−x1)+f(x)=1+1−x1
Subtracting the last two relations gives:
f(x)−f(1−x1)=1−x1+x1−1
and adding this to the original equation finally results in
f(x)=21(1−x1+x1+x)=2x(1−x)−x3+x2+1
