you can redistribute an equation x/y/z by mutiplying by 1/z.

x/y/z == (x / y) / (z / 1)

multiply the numerator by (1 / z), you can then cancel out the (z/1) denominator and apply the (1/z) to the numerator.

=> (x / y) * (1 / z) which is (x / yz) or (x / zy)

suppose "impreza wrx wagon" = i and "saab" = s

we have the equation s ( 9 - 2x) = i

solving for x:

9 - 2 * x = i / s

-2 * x = (i / s) - (9 / 1)

x = [(i / s) - (9 / 1)] / (-2 / 1)

[(i / s) - (9 / 1)] / (-2 / 1) x 1

where 1 = (-1 / 2) / (-1 / 2)

(-2 / 1) cancels out

x = [(i / s) - (9 / 1)] * (-1 / 2)

=> (-i / 2s) + (9 / 2)

x = (9 / 2) - (i / 2s)

Nissan also did the same with Prince Motor Company ala Nissan Skyline.
