DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 12%2Ax%2B44=highlight_red%28+x+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-x+%29
It becomes 12%2Ax%2B44-highlight_green%28+x+%29=0.
Look at 12%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+44+%29-x=0.
Moved 44 to the right of expression
It becomes 12%2Ax-x%2Bhighlight_green%28+44+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+12%2Ax+%29-highlight_red%28+x+%29%2B44=0.
Eliminated similar terms highlight_red%28+12%2Ax+%29,highlight_red%28+-x+%29 replacing them with highlight_green%28+%2812-1%29%2Ax+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+%2812-1%29%2Ax+%29%2B44=0.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+12+%29-highlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2Ax%2B44=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes %28highlight_green%28+11+%29%29%2Ax%2B44=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+11+%29%29%2Ax+%29%2B44=0.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+11+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+11+%29%2Ax%2B44=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+11%2Ax%2B44+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+11%2Ax%2B44=0+%29 equivalent to 11*x+44 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
