DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-16%2Bhighlight_red%28+%28-7%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+-7+%29\"
It becomes \"-16-highlight_green%28+7+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+16+%29-highlight_red%28+7+%29\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+-23+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-23+%29\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-23\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+23+%29\".
Result: \"-23\"

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-5.5%2Bhighlight_red%28+%28-2.5%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+-2.5+%29\"
It becomes \"-5.5-highlight_green%28+2.5+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+5.5+%29-highlight_red%28+2.5+%29\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+80%2F10+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+80+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+10+%29\".
Factors 80 and 10 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 10. Reducing fraction.
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+8+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+1+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-8%2Fhighlight_red%28+1+%29\".
Remove extraneous '1' from product \"highlight_red%28+1%2F1+%29\"
It becomes \"-8\".
Result: \"-8\"
