DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+a+%29%2A%28a%2B16%29=0.
Notes known roots (a-(0))
Look at highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2A%28a%2B16%29+%29=0.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+1+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+1+%29%2A%28a%2B16%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+1+%29%2A%28a%2B16%29=0.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+1+%29
It becomes %28a%2B16%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28a%2B16%29+%29=0.
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms highlight_red%28+a+%29,highlight_red%28+16+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+a+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+16+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+a%2B16+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+a%2B16=0+%29 equivalent to a+16 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: a=0,a=-16.
