DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+3%2F8+%29%29%2A%28x%29+%29=1.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+3+%29,highlight_red%28+1%2F8+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+3+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+8+%29%2A%28x%29=1.
Look at highlight_red%28+3%2F8%2A%28highlight_red%28+x+%29%29+%29=1.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+x+%29
It becomes 3%2F8%2Ahighlight_green%28+x+%29=1.
Look at 3%2F8%2Ax=highlight_red%28+1+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-1+%29
It becomes 3%2F8%2Ax-highlight_green%28+1+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+3%2F8%2Ax-1+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+3%2F8%2Ax-1=0+%29 equivalent to 0.375*x-1 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=2.66666666666667.
