DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a-highlight_red%28+%281%2F3%29+%29=2%2F3\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+-1%2F3+%29\"
It becomes \"a-highlight_green%28+1%2F3+%29=2%2F3\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a-1%2F3=highlight_red%28+2%2F3+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-2%2F3+%29\"
It becomes \"a-1%2F3-highlight_green%28+2%2F3+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a-highlight_red%28+1%2F3+%29-highlight_red%28+2%2F3+%29=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"a-highlight_green%28+3%2F3+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a-highlight_red%28+3+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+3+%29=0\".
Reduce similar several occurrences of \"highlight_red%28+3+%29\" to \"highlight_green%28+1+%29\"
It becomes \"a-highlight_green%28+1+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+a-1+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+a-1=0+%29\" equivalent to a-1 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation! Solutions: a=1.
