Topic: rebasing linear equations
Matthew Pocock (Sep 08 2023 at 20:01):
Say I have two linear expressions: a1 * x1 + c1 = a2 * x2 + c2
where x is a variable and the others are constants, and everything is Nat. Is there a builtin that will give me back a3 * t + c3 = a4 * t + c4
for some new variable t, that covers all the (Nat) solutions with the smallest choice of constants? To be clear, a1 * x1 + c1 = a3 * t + c3
and a2 * x2 + c2 = a4 * t + c4
