1. Initial program 19.7

   \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + 1}}\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied frac-sub19.7

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1 \cdot \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \cdot 1}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}}\]

4. Simplified19.7

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}\]
5. Using strategy rm

6. Applied flip--19.5
