DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28x-2%29+%29%2A%28x%2B5%29=0\".
Notes known roots (x-(2))
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2A%28x%2B5%29+%29=0\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+1+%29%2A%28x%2B5%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+1+%29%2A%28x%2B5%29=0\".
Remove extraneous '1' from product \"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"
It becomes \"%28x%2B5%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28x%2B5%29+%29=0\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+x+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+5+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+x+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+5+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+x%2B5+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+x%2B5=0+%29\" equivalent to x+5 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation! Solutions: x=2,x=-5.

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ay%5E2%2Bby%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"1y%5E2%2B2y%2B-3+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\" should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\": \"b%5E2-4ac=%282%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-3=16\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=16 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-2%2B-sqrt%28+16+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%5B1%5D+=+%28-%282%29%2Bsqrt%28+16+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%5B2%5D+=+%28-%282%29-sqrt%28+16+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"1y%5E2%2B2y%2B-3\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"1y%5E2%2B2y%2B-3+=+1%28y-1%29%2A%28y--3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 1, -3.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B2%2Ax%2B-3+%29\"
