    1. Started with
      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
      59.2
    2. Using strategy rm
      59.2
    3. Applied flip-- to get
      \[\frac{\color{red}{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(-b/2\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}\right)}^2}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}}{a}\]
