This is an equation! Solutions: x=31.
Graphical form: Equation $\"x%2B2x-3=90\"$ was fully solved.
Text form: x+2x-3=90 simplifies to 0=0
Cartoon (animation) form: $\"simplify_cartoon%28+x%2B2x-3=90+%29\"$
For tutors: simplify_cartoon( x+2x-3=90 )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+x+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+2%2Ax+%29-3=90\"$ .
Eliminated similar terms $\"highlight_red%28+x+%29\"$ , $\"highlight_red%28+2%2Ax+%29\"$ replacing them with $\"highlight_green%28+%281%2B2%29%2Ax+%29\"$
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+%281%2B2%29%2Ax+%29-3=90\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"%28highlight_red%28+1+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+2+%29%29%2Ax-3=90\"$ .
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes $\"%28highlight_green%28+3+%29%29%2Ax-3=90\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+3+%29%29%2Ax+%29-3=90\"$ .
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor $\"highlight_red%28+3+%29\"$
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+3+%29%2Ax-3=90\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"3%2Ax-3=highlight_red%28+90+%29\"$ .
Moved these terms to the left $\"highlight_green%28+-90+%29\"$
It becomes $\"3%2Ax-3-highlight_green%28+90+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"3%2Ax-highlight_red%28+3+%29-highlight_red%28+90+%29=0\"$ .
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes $\"3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-93+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-93+%29=0\"$ .
Removed extra sign in front of $\"-93\"$
It becomes $\"3%2Ax-highlight_green%28+93+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+3%2Ax-93+%29=0\"$ .
Solved linear equation $\"highlight_red%28+3%2Ax-93=0+%29\"$ equivalent to 3*x-93 =0
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\"$ .
Result: $\"0=0\"$
