In the following session I create several symbolic expressions and 
manipulate them via substitution.
Why does the last command produce an error?

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

Long Traceback output follows ending with
AttributeError: ImmutableMatrix has no attribute as_coeff_Mul.
Which I don't understand in any useful way.

What concept am I missing? Are matrices not substitutable?
