DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+13+%29-highlight_red%28+20+%29=3x%2B15-2x\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+-33+%29=3x%2B15-2x\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-33+%29=3x%2B15-2x\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-33\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+33+%29=3x%2B15-2x\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-33=3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+15+%29-2%2Ax\".
Moved \"15\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"-33=3%2Ax-2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+15+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-33=highlight_red%28+3%2Ax+%29-highlight_red%28+2%2Ax+%29%2B15\".
Eliminated similar terms \"highlight_red%28+3%2Ax+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax+%29\" replacing them with \"highlight_green%28+%283-2%29%2Ax+%29\"
It becomes \"-33=highlight_green%28+%283-2%29%2Ax+%29%2B15\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-33=highlight_red%28+%283-2%29+%29%2Ax%2B15\".
