Yun, Sorry for the slow reply. I am not sure one or the other is
preferable, but it would seem to be better for the term to share the
implicit variable with the equation that nominally solves that variable. I
have never tested this issue so I don't really know or have any good
mathematical reasoning, just a hunch.
