wolfram alpha gives the following for `decompose c`: ``` (3*y**2 - 12*y*z**2 + 84*y*z + y + 12*z**4 - 168*z**3 + 586*z**2 + 14*z + 2) o (y**2 + y*z + 7*y) ``` and if you replace `y` in the first expression with the second expression it equals `c`. Written with the same semantics, the previous post results would be expressed as ``` (3*x**2 + x + 2) o (y**2 + y*z + 7*y - 2*z**2 + 14*z) ``` where `lhs.subs(x, rhs) == c`.
