Derivation

  1. Initial program 11.6

    \[x - \frac{\left(y \cdot 2\right) \cdot z}{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t}\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied associate-/l*6.8

    \[\leadsto x - \color{blue}{\frac{y \cdot 2}{\frac{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t}{z}}}\]
  4. Using strategy rm

  5. Applied associate-/l*6.8

    \[\leadsto x - \color{blue}{\frac{y}{\frac{\frac{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t}{z}}{2}}}\]

  6. Simplified2.8

    \[\leadsto x - \frac{y}{\color{blue}{\frac{2 \cdot z - \frac{t \cdot y}{z}}{2}}}\]
  7. Using strategy rm

  8. Applied *-un-lft-identity2.8

    \[\leadsto x - \frac{y}{\frac{2 \cdot z - \frac{t \cdot y}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot z}}}{2}}\]

  9. Applied times-frac2.3

    \[\leadsto x - \frac{y}{\frac{2 \cdot z - \color{blue}{\frac{t}{1} \cdot \frac{y}{z}}}{2}}\]

  10. Simplified2.3

    \[\leadsto x - \frac{y}{\frac{2 \cdot z - \color{blue}{t} \cdot \frac{y}{z}}{2}}\]

  11. Final simplification2.3

    \[\leadsto x - \frac{y}{\frac{2 \cdot z - t \cdot \frac{y}{z}}{2}}\]
