DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"6%2AW=highlight_red%28+36+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-36+%29\"
It becomes \"6%2AW-highlight_green%28+36+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+6%2AW-36+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+6%2AW-36=0+%29\" equivalent to 6*W-36 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation! Solutions: W=6.
