DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+15+%29%2Ax%5E3%2Fhighlight_red%28+6+%29%2Fx%5E-3\".
Factors 15 and 6 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 3. Reducing fraction.
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+5+%29%2Ax%5E3%2Fhighlight_green%28+2+%29%2Fx%5E-3\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"5%2Ahighlight_red%28+x%5E3+%29%2F2%2Fhighlight_red%28+x%5E-3+%29\".
Reduce similar several occurrences of \"highlight_red%28+x%5E3+%29\" to \"highlight_green%28+x%5E%283--3%29+%29\"
It becomes \"5%2Ahighlight_green%28+x%5E%283--3%29+%29%2F2\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"5%2Ax%5E%283-highlight_red%28+-3+%29%29%2F2\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"3\"
It becomes \"5%2Ax%5E%283%2Bhighlight_green%28+3+%29%29%2F2\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"5%2Ax%5E%28highlight_red%28+3+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+3+%29%29%2F2\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"5%2Ax%5E%28highlight_green%28+6+%29%29%2F2\".
Result: \"5%2Ax%5E%286%29%2F2\"
