Expert Solution
Solving (3) step 1

Without loss of generality, we can substitute d and nd in the above expression

d|nσ(d) ϕ(nd) = d|nσ(nd) ϕ(d)

We can substitute σ(nd) = r|ndr

So we get, 

d|nσ(d) ϕ(nd) = d|nr|ndr ϕ(d)

By a theorem of change of variables under double summation we have for a number-theoretic function "f"

c|n d|nc  f(c,d) = d|n c|nd  f(c,d) 

Applying this, we get 

d|nσ(d) ϕ(nd) = r|nd|nrr ϕ(d) = r|nd|nrϕ(d) r
