DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-2%2Ax=-highlight_red%28+41+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+7+%29\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"-2%2Ax=highlight_green%28+-34+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-2%2Ax=highlight_red%28+-34+%29\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-34\"
It becomes \"-2%2Ax=-highlight_green%28+34+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-2%2Ax=highlight_red%28+-34+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+34+%29\"
It becomes \"-2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+34+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B34+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B34=0+%29\" equivalent to -2*x+34 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
