DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"x=highlight_red%28+%283%2Ax-5%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+3%2Ax+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-5+%29\"
It becomes \"x=highlight_green%28+3%2Ax+%29-highlight_green%28+5+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"x=highlight_red%28+3%2Ax-5+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-3%2Ax+%29\",\"highlight_green%28+5+%29\"
It becomes \"x-highlight_green%28+3%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+5+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+x+%29-highlight_red%28+3%2Ax+%29%2B5=0\".
Eliminated similar terms \"highlight_red%28+x+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-3%2Ax+%29\" replacing them with \"highlight_green%28+%281-3%29%2Ax+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+%281-3%29%2Ax+%29%2B5=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28highlight_red%28+1+%29-highlight_red%28+3+%29%29%2Ax%2B5=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"%28highlight_green%28+-2+%29%29%2Ax%2B5=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28highlight_red%28+-2+%29%29%2Ax%2B5=0\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-2\"
It becomes \"%28-highlight_green%28+2+%29%29%2Ax%2B5=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28-highlight_red%28+2+%29%29%2Ax+%29%2B5=0\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+2+%29\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+2+%29%2Ax%2B5=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B5+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B5=0+%29\" equivalent to -2*x+5 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
