DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+8+%29-1.2%2Ay=2.
Moved 8 to the right of expression
It becomes -1.2%2Ay%2Bhighlight_green%28+8+%29=2.
Look at -1.2%2Ay%2B8=highlight_red%28+2+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-2+%29
It becomes -1.2%2Ay%2B8-highlight_green%28+2+%29=0.
Look at -1.2%2Ay%2Bhighlight_red%28+8+%29-highlight_red%28+2+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes -1.2%2Ay%2Bhighlight_green%28+6+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-1.2%2Ay%2B6+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+-1.2%2Ay%2B6=0+%29 equivalent to -1.2*y+6 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: y=5.
