\[x - \frac{1}{\frac{z}{y} - \frac{\frac{t}{2}}{z}}\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 11.5

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

  3. Applied associate-/l*6.5

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

  5. Applied div-sub6.5

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

  6. Simplified2.5

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

  7. Simplified2.5

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

  8. Final simplification2.5

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