		Next Al Khwarizmi chops the bx term in half, resulting in two rectangles (b/2)x, which he then cunningly rearranges along the edges of the square of side x (x²):
		The interested reader may now obtain the modern formula from Al Khwarizmi's formula by dividing the starting equation (ax² + bx - c = 0) through by a and then substituting the resulting coefficients (the a, b and c terms) into Al Khwarizmi's formula.
