DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+5+%29-highlight_red%28+8+%29=4%2Ay\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+-3+%29=4%2Ay\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-3+%29=4%2Ay\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-3\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+3+%29=4%2Ay\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-3=highlight_red%28+4%2Ay+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-4%2Ay+%29\"
It becomes \"-3-highlight_green%28+4%2Ay+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+3+%29-4%2Ay=0\".
Moved \"-3\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"-4%2Ay-highlight_green%28+3+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-4%2Ay-3+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+-4%2Ay-3=0+%29\" equivalent to -4*y-3 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation! Solutions: y=-0.75.
