Derivation

1. Initial program 39.3%

   \[\left(x + 1\right) \cdot \left(x + 1\right) - 1 \]

2. Simplified 100.0%

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot \left(x + 2\right)} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 39.3	\[ \left(x + 1\right) \cdot \left(x + 1\right) - 1 \]
   difference-of-sqr-1 [=>] 39.3	\[ \color{blue}{\left(\left(x + 1\right) + 1\right) \cdot \left(\left(x + 1\right) - 1\right)} \]
   *-commutative [=>] 39.3	\[ \color{blue}{\left(\left(x + 1\right) - 1\right) \cdot \left(\left(x + 1\right) + 1\right)} \]
   associate--l+ [=>] 100.0	\[ \color{blue}{\left(x + \left(1 - 1\right)\right)} \cdot \left(\left(x + 1\right) + 1\right) \]
   metadata-eval [=>] 100.0	\[ \left(x + \color{blue}{0}\right) \cdot \left(\left(x + 1\right) + 1\right) \]
   +-rgt-identity [=>] 100.0	\[ \color{blue}{x} \cdot \left(\left(x + 1\right) + 1\right) \]
   associate-+l+ [=>] 100.0	\[ x \cdot \color{blue}{\left(x + \left(1 + 1\right)\right)} \]
   metadata-eval [=>] 100.0	\[ x \cdot \left(x + \color{blue}{2}\right) \]

3. Final simplification 100.0%

   \[\leadsto x \cdot \left(x + 2\right) \]
