DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%281%2F3%29+%29%2B%285%2F12%29%2B%284%2F5%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+1%2F3+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+1%2F3+%29%2B%285%2F12%29%2B%284%2F5%29\".

Look at \"highlight_red%28+1%2F3+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+5%2F12+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+4%2F5+%29\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+93%2F60+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+93+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+60+%29\".
Factors 93 and 60 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 3. Reducing fraction.
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+31+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+20+%29\".
Result: \"31%2F20\"
