t=X/X

This will sorta work, but if x is 0 then you'll probably get errors,
to a human it's the 0/0 = 1 thing not having used your emulator I
can't be sure what'll happen of how to treat an error like this.

y = V11 -7

(abs(y) + y)/(2*y)

P.S. If you want avoid awkward situations very near y == 0 you could
do

(abs(y) + y)/(2* abs(y) + e)

where e is a very small positive number
