DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+11%2F12+%29%29%2F%28-7%2F8%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+11+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+1%2F12+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+11+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+12+%29%2F%28-7%2F8%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+11%2F12%2F%28-highlight_red%28+7%2F8+%29%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+1%2F7+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+8+%29\"
It becomes \"-11%2F12%2Fhighlight_green%28+7+%29%2Ahighlight_green%28+8+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-11%2Fhighlight_red%28+12+%29%2F7%2Ahighlight_red%28+8+%29\".
Factors 8 and 12 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 4. Reducing fraction.
It becomes \"-11%2Fhighlight_green%28+3+%29%2F7%2Ahighlight_green%28+2+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+11+%29%2F3%2F7%2Ahighlight_red%28+2+%29\".
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+22+%29%2F3%2F7\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-22%2Fhighlight_red%28+3+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+7+%29\".
Multiplied denominator integers
It becomes \"-22%2Fhighlight_green%28+21+%29\".
Result: \"-22%2F21\"
