Derivation

1. Initial program 14.6

   \[\frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x - 1}\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied flip--29.3

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\frac{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1}{x + 1}}}\]

4. Applied associate-/r/29.4

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{x + 1} - \color{blue}{\frac{1}{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \left(x + 1\right)}\]

5. Applied flip-+14.6

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\frac{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1}{x - 1}}} - \frac{1}{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \left(x + 1\right)\]

6. Applied associate-/r/14.6

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \left(x - 1\right)} - \frac{1}{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \left(x + 1\right)\]

7. Applied distribute-lft-out--14.0

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \left(\left(x - 1\right) - \left(x + 1\right)\right)}\]

8. Simplified14.0

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{(x \cdot x + -1)_*}} \cdot \left(\left(x - 1\right) - \left(x + 1\right)\right)\]

9. Simplified0.5

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{(x \cdot x + -1)_*} \cdot \color{blue}{-2}\]

10. Final simplification0.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{(x \cdot x + -1)_*} \cdot -2\]
