DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+a+%29%2A%28a%2B16%29=0\".
Notes known roots (a-(0))
\n" ); document.write( "
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\".
\n" ); document.write( "
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\".
\n" ); document.write( "
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\".
\n" ); document.write( "
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\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation! Solutions: a=0,a=-16.
