DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"2%2Ax-5=highlight_red%28+89+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-89+%29\"
It becomes \"2%2Ax-5-highlight_green%28+89+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"2%2Ax-highlight_red%28+5+%29-highlight_red%28+89+%29=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-94+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-94+%29=0\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-94\"
It becomes \"2%2Ax-highlight_green%28+94+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-94+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-94=0+%29\" equivalent to 2*x-94 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
