Derivation

  1. Initial program 10.6

    \[x + \frac{\left(y - z\right) \cdot t}{a - z}\]

  2. Simplified1.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{y - z}{a - z}, t, x\right)}\]
  3. Using strategy rm

  4. Applied div-sub1.2

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(\color{blue}{\frac{y}{a - z} - \frac{z}{a - z}}, t, x\right)\]

  5. Final simplification1.2

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{y}{a - z} - \frac{z}{a - z}, t, x\right)\]
