Derivation

1. Initial program 72.4%

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

2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 100.0%

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

3. Simplified 100.0%

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{y \cdot x - y \cdot z} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 100.0	\[ y \cdot x + -1 \cdot \left(y \cdot z\right) \]
