Why Operators Are Useful
I don't know any Lisp, but I would decode
(= (* x (+ y z)) (+ (* x z) (* y z)))
As
x*(y + z) = x*z + y*z
e.g. (+ y z) means you add y and z with highest priority.

Which is incorrect, they aren't equal.

That is probably not a statement of equality, but a boolean test for it.

Well, technically it solves to x = z when y <> 0 and any x, z when y = 0 though I'm not sure if that's the original intention.
