DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28%28w-4%29%5E2%29+%29=%28%282w%5E2%29-%286w%2B1%29%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+%28w-4%29%5E2+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+%28w-4%29%5E2+%29=%28%282w%5E2%29-%286w%2B1%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28w-4%29%5E2=%28highlight_red%28+%282%2Aw%5E2%29+%29-%286%2Aw%2B1%29%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+2%2Aw%5E2+%29\"
It becomes \"%28w-4%29%5E2=%28highlight_green%28+2%2Aw%5E2+%29-%286%2Aw%2B1%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28w-4%29%5E2=%282%2Aw%5E2-highlight_red%28+%286%2Aw%2B1%29+%29%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+-6%2Aw+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-1+%29\"
It becomes \"%28w-4%29%5E2=%282%2Aw%5E2-highlight_green%28+6%2Aw+%29-highlight_green%28+1+%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28w-4%29%5E2=highlight_red%28+%282%2Aw%5E2-6%2Aw-1%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+2%2Aw%5E2+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-6%2Aw+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-1+%29\"
It becomes .
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28w-4%29%5E2=highlight_red%28+2%2Aw%5E2-6%2Aw-1+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-2%2Aw%5E2+%29\",\"highlight_green%28+6%2Aw+%29\",\"highlight_green%28+1+%29\"
It becomes .

Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28w-4%29%5E2-2%2Aw%5E2%2B6%2Aw%2B1+%29=0\".
Equation \"highlight_red%28+%28w-4%29%5E2-2%2Aw%5E2%2B6%2Aw%2B1=0+%29\" is a quadratic equation: -w^2-2*w+17 =0, and has solutions -5.24264068711928,3.24264068711928
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
