Derivation

  1. Initial program 11.3

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

  3. Applied *-un-lft-identity11.3

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

  4. Applied times-frac6.6

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

  5. Simplified6.6

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

  6. Simplified6.6

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

  7. Final simplification6.6
