\[\left(x - z\right) \cdot y \]

Derivation

1. Initial program 73.3%

   \[\left(\left(x \cdot y - y \cdot z\right) - y \cdot y\right) + y \cdot y \]

2. Simplified 100.0%

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

   [Start] 73.3	\[ \left(\left(x \cdot y - y \cdot z\right) - y \cdot y\right) + y \cdot y \]
   associate-+l- [=>] 87.9	\[ \color{blue}{\left(x \cdot y - y \cdot z\right) - \left(y \cdot y - y \cdot y\right)} \]
   +-inverses [=>] 100.0	\[ \left(x \cdot y - y \cdot z\right) - \color{blue}{0} \]
   --rgt-identity [=>] 100.0	\[ \color{blue}{x \cdot y - y \cdot z} \]
   *-commutative [=>] 100.0	\[ x \cdot y - \color{blue}{z \cdot y} \]
   distribute-rgt-out-- [=>] 100.0	\[ \color{blue}{y \cdot \left(x - z\right)} \]

3. Final simplification 100.0%

   \[\leadsto y \cdot \left(x - z\right) \]
